Only picture from yesterday - your's truly caught in the act of blogging by ONE of several local mad photographers! {vbg} Disclaimer: the granny glasses are used ONLY for reading and computer work!



Zander, seated to my right, is informing me that Elephant one is not happy...guess he doesn't like a whale tank with an arctic birch tree for a habitat. :::snort::::
PRAISE CRAZE

For those in the local area be sure to come out to the Lake today between 1:45 – 7:45 for Praise Craze! There will be about 7 local bands playing. There will be food booths from various base organizations, if you choose to buy something. The Red Cross will be out there if you want to give blood. There will be crafts and bouncy thing for children. There is also the pool and playgrounds. It will be a great family day.

The bands will showcase a variety of music genres. The 180 (our student contemporary band) is Christian alternative, there will be Gospel, Tejana, Rap – a little bit for everyone. Proceeds from the booths will benefit various base organizations, a love offering will benefit the base chapel.

This should be a fun family day for those with families and a great day for the students of the base as well. Event brought to you by – yep – your local Air Force Chapel.

We plan to bring a cooler of foods that are “mom approved”. We plan to play, veg, and swim alternately throughout the afternoon. Hope to see some of you there.
The Boys are HOME! They had a great time. We haven’t gotten to talk much as they got home late – but we stayed up for about an hour and chatted. It was fun to hear of the friends they saw etc. Thanks to all who made their trip enjoyable…especially Dayton.

It seems that Jamin came in 3rd in a “July 2nd/4th” race in Hoonah. It was funny to hear the boys talk about it. The announcer was saying “In first, here comes Cooper; in 2nd Cooper’s father; and I don’t know whose in 3rd”. The only disappointment to ME on this trip is that they did not go Halibut fishing and thus my stock of Halibut is down to 3 measly packages. The chapel Halibut fishing trip is *TODAY*. {sigh}

While we waited for the boys to get home last night we watched a couple of ORIGINAL *Star Trek* episodes, *Chicken Little* and a few *Hogan’s Heroes* episodes. Poor Arielle, Stacia and Zander fell asleep and have not seen the boys yet.
