TJ and Maddy having some fun at Chuck E Cheese while Alli and Lainey were at the father daughter dance. It was a late night for TJ, but he had lots of fun.
The next day we headed out to the SA Rodeo grounds and carnival...
Enjoying a few rides.
The bumper cars were a HUGE hit! For about half the ride, Alli just sat in one spot not knowing how to make her car go until the ride attendant walked over to help her. Then she was off and bumpin'
Daddy and TJ on the airplane ride- perfect for TJ!
Daddy did his best to earn an Army strong T-shirt by doing 75 push-ups. He hopped down thinking it would be no problem (it wasn't back in the day), but was completely worn out by about 40. I think he pushed himself to 46 or something and then called it quits. He likes to round up to an even 50 when he tells the story. Either way- no T-shirt.
On the way out we passed another Army booth and Dwaine tried to talk them into letting him finish up with the last 25, but instead somehow they talked me into getting down on the push-up platform. I busted out 30 (which surprised me 'cause I didn't think I'd make it past 20) for some souvenir dog tags- still no t-shirt. When I stood up, there was a small crowd gathered around that had been cheering me on and a former neighbor had been watching- how embarrassing!

As crazy as it was trying to keep track of all the kids and stay together in the crowds, we had a great time. As we started the drive home after a very difficult walk back to the car with TJ in a screaming fit over who knows what, Alli summed it all up with "Well, that was a cool little place."
Yes, I guess it was- carnival rides, food booths, bounce houses, foot massage chairs, all kinds of farm animals, spinning wheels for freebies, bumper cars....
Pretty cool!

50 push-ups is still pretty darn good! And I don't think I can do one push-up!
Oh- and your 30 is pretty impressive, too!
I love the comment about TJ throwing a fit over who knows what. We have reached the tantrum phase ALREADY with Maverick. Yikes!! This motherhood thing is definitely interesting. :o)
