This day we decided to visit the Historic Site at Fort Stevens with my Sister-in-law Meredith and her two boys Pirate Cousin and Army Man. They rode their bikes there, but we drove with a stop at the KOA Coffee shop to use the internet. We needed to purchase our tickets for the Halloween Party at Disneyland for our trip in October. Besides, Glenn gets the twitches if he is separated from technology for too long! lol
While Glenn spent money, Emma and I enjoyed some ice cream!
The Historic Site at Fort Stevens has a small museum about Fort Stevens and the Army's residence there. It also includes the story of when the Japanese attacked there in WWII. No one was hurt, and the shells only hit the beach, but it is significant because it is the only place on the continental United States to see any action during the war.
Our first stop was this Jeep. All the kids had to take a turn driving. Army Man was first of course. Emma had her chance next.
And finally Pirate Cousin took his shot. This is where I started to notice that Pirate Cousin is not looking like a boy anymore as much as he is a Pre-teen. He is growing up too fast!
At least the boys are still boys when it is fun enough. Here are Pirate Cousin and Army Man all excited because they were able to climb to the highest spot.
Here is Emma watching her cousins. She is so in love with them. She wanted to climb with them, but was too small to make it up herself.
Emma and Army Man visited the memorial rose garden to look at the flowers.
Emma and Pirate Cousin decided to look down the barrel of a large gun.
Emma followed Mommy up, but didn't like it. She has a healthy respect for heights, and likes to be safe.
Emma decided we were done and started to take off on her own. She had fun, but when she is done, she is done!
