mr. montes telling them what is in their bags.
(see the old guy in the red sweater...he walks the neighborhood and is forgetful or something and he just stayed at the party forever...it was so sad...someone had to walk him home...poor guy, he didn't know where he was)
the kids doing push ups
(SORRY TO ALL VIEWERS DELETED SOME PHOTOS BY ACCIDENT)....
learning to walk like a soldier
jumping jacks
first we had the kids find the "platoon" (army men) around the front yard. they each had to find five, but after that they just ran around finding the rest... Then we did the obstacle course, which was three wardrobe boxes with army netting on the top (for a tunnel), six tires from a local tire shop (donated for a couple hours), balance beam (made by daddy), three hoola hoops holding a ball and then searching for shells(just another activity) in water with a spaghetti holder (they really liked this one, funny because i threw it in at the last minute to make the obstacle course longer). They loved it.

next we lined up the tires in a three, two and one pyramid and we played a game called "bombs away" we filled about 100 water gran aide balloons and played a game trying to hit the water balloons in the tires. the kids wanted to get wet so we had the kids go on the opposite side of the tires and had all the parents help get them wet. (improvising is always good)
next we had two soldiers (real army guys) come and command the kids around, answer questions and teach them some exercises. the army guys also brought a back pack of army goods for the kids, backpack, bag, pencils, notebook, bracelet, army tags, pens, book covers and much more...it was soooo cool... the kids just loved it. then we made "thank you" cards to send to the troops with a picture of our group.
writing thank you notes to our troops
