When we first got here we immediately started canvasing the area for fun things to do. Altus is a small town, but there are plenty of parks in the community and on the Air Force base. There is a small reservoir in the middle of town that has some nice parks around it. It is full of geese and ducks and they REALLY like to be fed. When we feed them we go through a whole loaf of bread and have to hurry away because they'll pursue. :)
It is really hot in here, as in over 100 daily, so the kids all decided to chop their hair.
We got to celebrate fathers day with the greatest Dad on the planet
We made and played with flubber :)
The base here has a WONDERFUL swimming pool. There a two large twisty slides, a kiddie pool and diving boards. Steven saw some big kids doing back flips so he decided that he could as well. We all got a kick out of watching him.
Then he decided he could dive and he did great.
Sarah loved to jump off the diving board, but she didn't want to dive.
After her bribe money reached $7 she decided to give it a try and did great. She kept diving over and over after that.
Mike did a great job of showing them an example.
When we went for a walk Steven found this turtle on the route. He begged to bring it home as his pet and we said he could keep it in the back yard but SURPRISE, it was gone in the morning. :)
