birthdays are over...









Charlie celebrated his birthday with a few friends on Saturday. It was looking cloudy so we didn't set up the obstacle course right away but in the time it took to set up a hoop, some tunnel type stuff, hockey and soccer nets and draw a "racetrack" it was a beautiful day. The kids played outside for a while then had the traditional presents, cake and ice cream...Charlie was pleased that it was finally HIS turn with HIS friends. Friday Jeff had off so we went on a hike around an edge of the island. While it was beautifl to the right and cow fields to the left (actually still beautiful) it was a bit scary to realize how close we were to the edge of large cliffs. We did see some beautiful scenes of waves crashing and a natural cave that was pretty cool. The kids have started "practicing" easter egg hunts in the back yard and actually had a real one on base which was fun for the kids who were happy to run and get eggs with candy!! Spring break this week so Heather is excited to be home for all the fun we usually have without her ;-)
