Fieldtrips

Recently, on the front passenger side wheel of our van we discovered a complete crack. We swapped cars and Shrek took the van in the next available day. Once there he was told that it wouldn't be covered by warranty and that we would have to go 15 miles to the tire store there that had the same wheel in stock. We packed up the kids in our poor AC circulating trooper at 3pm, tossed in the wheel, and made the trek before heading to our family "early" 4th of July celebration. The guys at this tire store were just as astonished to why it would have cracked as we were since there was no markings on the wheel or tire to show any recent distress. We had to wait about 20 minutes, so we drove to the nearby Veterans park to check out the tank!

Tinkerbell IMMEDIATELY threw a fit when we got out of the car...

This is why...she wanted handFULS of beef jerkey to keep her occupied...she feels threatened sometimes by the big kid food that we cautiously serve her! silly princess.

Investigating the tank-top and bottom...I just LOVE this picture!

They all were brave and got on top

So thrilled to be ON a TANK!!

Tinkerbell even sat on the gun part...she was not so impressed

she tried to go under and then realized she was too tall

Mermaid LOVED being daring and standing up there with her dad and protecting her sister

They are so small next to that huge armored vehicle!
