Independence Day fun

What could get better than a parade, a mud pit, and fireworks? Well, we also got to talk to Pvt. Daddy on the phone. The kids and adults loved the parade, but for different reasons. The kids got candy, water, and otterpops thrown to them, so they were thrilled. We were amazed at the difference between the parades here and what we would get back in So. Cal. People would never be allowed to throuw candy and stuff or squirt water guns and throw water balloons and the spectators. They would be afraid of law suits. But here, we had some spectators prepared to fight back. They had brought super soakers and buckets of water to reload to attack the would be attackers. (We want to do that next year). It was a blast.

Swim lessons

We started swim lessons this week. Sara is doing really well. She is excited because she found out her teacher used to be a soldier. Piero hasn't quite started as well. I had to go in the water with him the first day, but he's done better every day since. He is learning how to listen & follow instruction.

My adopted son

This is Private Charles Ackermann. He is in the Vampire unit with Giampiero because of a dislocated shoulder. Giampiero has nothing but good things to say about this kid, and I think he's a pretty good guy. So, now you all know my adopted son ;)

Attack of the cute squirrel

Seriously, it's cute, but not when it chases you down!
