Schools out!!!

Summer vacation has begun! Thursday was the last day of school for our kids ... and boy, did we party!!! The moms in the "neighborhood" got together and planned a celebration cookout, complete with hot dogs and ice cream ... and water games ... and kick ball. Of course, the weather did not cooperate. It was REALLY windy and in-between bursts of sunshine, the sky would darken and the rain would fall.

But that didn't stop this group of dedicated moms! Greg opened the Chapel Annex for us and we moved our party inside. It was a lot of fun. Living on post is a new experience for us. And it is great! The kids have made lots of great friends -- and there is never a lack of kids to play with. I'm also thankful for a group of really creative and fun moms ... they love to plan a good party! In fact, we had ANOTHER cook-out Friday night, to say goodbye to a couple of families moving back to the States, a birthday party at the craft center on Saturday -- and another birthday party at the bowling alley tonight. FUN!

The picture was taken at our celebration on Thursday during one of those bursts of sunshine.
