Heather enjoyed a fun week of girl scout camp in the mornings this week, doing lots of crafts and having a good time with some friends. Thursday we had the CE gang over for a cookout for Chad's birthday. Friday Jeff and I got to go out on a date while the kids had pizza and movie night with friends and then a sleepover (heather and charlie). We enjoyed dinner at the "portuguese officers club" which was really good and right on the beach in Praia and then a walk on the walking path by the beach before grabbing some crepes and ice cream and heading back to get cameron and bed. It was nice just to get to talk about plans for the next few years, work, kids, etc. without being interrupted over and over...The night was good just to relax and remember what it was like to be two adults without kids for a few hours. Thanks so much Amanda and Rory for keeping our kids in good hands!
Today we had a very busy day. We started out with a boat trip to Split Rock. The weather was not cooperating when we first arrived and we thought we might get quite wet. Fortunately the rain stopped long enough for us to cruise around the Angra Harbor, head out to split rock and boat between teh rocks. Francisco took us into a little cave where Jeff and our friend got out to snorkel. Unfortunately the boat was not cooperating so they had to swim out of the cave and it was not sunny enough to really see far down into the ocean. Charlie got in the water for 2.5 seconds before deciding it was too cold and Heather did the same. We had a good time on the boat and on a beautiful day it would have been perfect! Cameron took a nap in his lifejacket and was very good on the trip. We watched a kids play in the afternoon and then went to a dinner for deployed spouses so we could "get a feel" for the events. Back home we're getting ready for a campout and movie.
