The rest of October

September and Some of October

We went to the zoo not long after school started and had a good time. Luke was very happy because we surpised him by getting him out of school early to go. We has a fall festivial on base Oct 14 and they gave each kid a pumpkin. We had a good time with friends.

Luke's first day of Kindergarten

July and August

We had a super fun 4th with our good friends the Brooker's. We had a BBQ with several families from the ward on Fort Monroe before it shuts down as a base. We manage to eat before it poured the rain and lots of thunder and lightning. We all gathered in an empty garage until it stopped enough to go. We didn't get to see any fire works, but it was a 4th to always remember. Luke loves to where Keith's ABU hat most days. Now he wants to buy lots of different hats. August came and went so fast!!! We bought annual passed to the North Carolina aqurium which gets us into the Virginia Living museum and Norfolk zoo free. We made it to the Living museum before the butterfly exibit closed and had a great time. All the animals were out, even though it was a little too hot to be walking outside. We had Hurricane Irene the end of August, and knowing it floods around where we live I went and stayed a friends house until it passed. A few families brought their resources together and bunkered down. It was the best time I have ever had!!! We have deemed our good friends the Shorr's home storm central from now on.
