big boys, bumps and bruises

We had a nice extended weekend after Jeff got back since the base took the day off today as a "goal day". Yesterday we checked out the base church service which was a very small traditional type of service. Then we hung out and went for a walk around base, getting sprinkled on and watching the kids play at the park. Heather has gotten really good at teh monkey bars and when she is willing to try can tackle them easily. Cameron can't wait until he can run and play with his brother and sister--slowing him down will be the biggest problem when the time comes ;-). Charlie took some rough turns this weekend, falling off a slide about 5 feet, running into Heather and going head over handlebars on his bike (it was windy and he couldn't stop--it's REALLY windy here), and running under the slide still wearing his helment and not being used to the extra 2 inches of helment he failed to clear the bottom of the slide and went feet up in the air onto the ground. The worst was a run in with the basketball court--as illustrated by the picture above. Cameron posed for a few pictures in the mirror. Many contained heads of big sister trying to get into the action...Back to regular stuff tomorrow. We also saw a double rainbow, the first was VERY vibrant and the second was much lighter above. I'm not sure how it turned out in the picture but this was the bright spot in a gray day today.
