Memorial Day Weekend thus far....

Howdy everyone! We hope that you are all enjoying your Memorial Day weekend so far. Ben still has Monday and Tuesday off so we will be "enjoying" some outdoor projects the next few days! We have been very busy since we got back from Charleston.

Thursday, we got the opportunity to go to the C.O.C. (change of command) ceremony for Ben's old squadron 269. It was pretty fun to see some old friends & sad as well because there were so many new faces there. I guess that is the nature of the beast! It does not seem like it has been 5 years since Ben and I arrived here in Jacksonville but it has been!

Friday, Ben got off at noon then took a bike ride with his friend Aaron. We didn't do too much but relax then went to small group on Friday night.

Saturday, we started out of the house with the intent of going to the parade but couldn't locate it. Instead, Ben has been telling me about these fields of wild flowers so we decided to drive over near Emerald Isle to check them out. (We also swung by and checked out our rental house for our June beach trip with my family.)

Here are some of the pictures with the wild flowers. As you can see, Kendall really enjoyed them!

Today we had church and Sunday school then I had to run to New Bern to learn a few dances for the flight suit party that is coming up for Ben's squadron. I will elaborate on that at a later date. After I got home, we decided to get out of the house and go to sonic to eat supper and let Kendall blow off some steam. (Oh yeah we had to go to Lowe's to get some material to finish the back garden bed that Ben has been building too!) The following are shots of us enjoying some playtime. Kendall was insistent that I go down the slide as well so the last picture is Ben making sure everyone knew about my misery!
