Florida

Rich and I returned from our Florida trip on Saturday night. Our flight was on time and uneventful which was NOT the case for Rich flying in. Rich was scheduled to land at Pensacola at 6:05. He called and said he would be late. When Ashkii, the kids, and I got to the airport we could see lots of people standing around -- not a good sign. Rich called us and said that his plane had started to land at Pensacola - landing gear down and approaching runway -- then they aborted the landing and flew to Fort Walton Beach and landed there. They waited to see what the outcome was going to be and to make a long story short -- Rich shared a rental car with the lady that he was sitting next to on the plane and she drove to Navare and Ashkii drove to Navare to pick him up. Rich finally arrived at the house around 11:00 p.m, which was alot earlier than if he had waited for the busses that Delta was going to rent to bring them to Pensacola. To emphasize what a smalll world we live in the lady that he sat next to was a daughter of one the military people he had briefed on one of his guard trips to Fort Leonardwood.

We walked down to story time and sang about all the animals on Old McDonalds farm.
Trevor is not too fond of cats and when we were playing soccer in the back yard and the neighbors cat was trying to play soccer also we had to convince Trevor that the cat wasn't going to get him. He was still a little leary, but at least stayed out and played with us - one eye on the cat and one eye on the soccer ball.

We went to the beach -- saw dolphins swimming in the ocean. We tried to catch minnows but were very unsuccessful. Rich saw a stingray and was trying to catch it also. Savannah loves the beach and when she would fall down in the water, she would pop up shake off and want to play again. Very amazing for we non water types. Trevor and Rich played football. We also went to Trevor's soccer game. He was afraid of the other coach ( the coaches get to be on the field) and stayed as close to the sideline as he could. Kind of reminded us of our days watching soccer. The under 5 crowd has their own style of "bunch ball" Brooke returned from girls camp in one piece. Their house is very cute and we had a greattttttttt time. I even had a chance to go to a garage sale and was able to pick up some very important items. They are probably going to be in Norfolk for their next job and we look forward to visiting them there.
