So I got a little behind these past two weeks and you're getting 3 posts in one. First, we went to Hurricane Harbor at 6 Flags last Saturday and the kids loved it! We have never been before and it is pretty big. Jaxon and Kaia loved the wave pool and Justus and Kambria loved everything else.
Next was Kaia and Jaxon's annual end of the year field day at Hubbard Park - across the street from our house. I volunteered and walked with Kaia's class but I got to go see Jaxon too. I taught Kaia's class how to play "down by the banks" and they loved it (I think I helped out Kaia's popularity with that one... if she needed any help). During the races they had 4 heats of five and then had the winners race and three times it got down to Kaia and Jordan (who happens to be the boy that she likes). And they would tie every time!
Last was Kaia's gymnastics, end of year team party. We had it at one of the girls homes (with a pool!) and everyone had a great time. Justus attached himself to Jannah (which you may notice in the pictures) and would not go to anyone else. We also gave out awards to each of the girls and Kaia go the "tightest form" award.
So Dave has been gone for 2 1/2 weeks and so far so good. He gets to call us on Saturday and the kids are really looking forward to talking to him. We have gotten three letters from him and he seems to be doing very well. He said he has only gotten in trouble once and he had to write an essay but he is still confident in his decision to go to Officer School. Here is his address in case anyone wants to write him (please don't ship him anything - he will get in trouble, they check all their mail):
Candidate Butters, David R. 6450
Officer Candidate School, C Company, 4th Platoon
2189 Elrod Avenue
Quantico, VA. 22134-5033
