Air Show

As most of you know, one of the "perks" of living at Camp Humphreys is living close....as in 20 minutes to Osan Air Base. We like going there a lot. The shopping is better, the BX (not to be confused with the PX...one is a base exchange and the other a post exchange), not to mention being able to eat at Chili's. I just found out yesterday that this Chili's is the only one on the peninsula.

Osan does have other fun stuff as well, they had the fireworks for the 4th of July. This weekend they are having what is called Air Power Day. This is an airshow. We went for a couple of hours yesterday, as you know the kids can't take much more than that. Creed had fallen asleep before we arrived, so was in his stroller for the beginning of it. Once he was awake though, he really liked to look at all of the airplanes, but did not like the sounds the jets were making!! We all had a grand time. The kids got balloons and cotton candy.

Before the jets came along!

Brodie, Jenna and Daddy in a C-130. Daddy has jumped out of this type of perfectly good airplane.A-10 WarthogCreed not liking the sound of this jet!!!F-16 Fighting FalconNavy aircraft.Now...the most exciting part of the airshow!!!

After the Warthog makes a ground pass, engaging targets with it's 30mm gatlan gun. The A-10 banks hard left and releases flares to spoil any ground to air threats.

The Dragonflies--part II

The kids had their second soccer game yesterday. Jenna had the BEST game!! She was in the crowd, kicking the ball. She even made one of the best plays of the game, by kicking the ball through one of the "Sharks" legs and another Dragonfly almost scored a goal. Now, on to the one who really likes to get in his uniform, get ready for the BIG game, but doesn't play one second of the game...not because his coach, other players and parents don't want him to....because he's just stubborn like that!! We'll just see what next week brings.

The Dragonflies!!!

Jenna and Brodie had their first soccer game of the season yesterday. I'm really not sure what the score was, as they don't really keep scores for the younger kids. I do believe it was a tie. Who really knows! So, Bill made the most perfect analogy....when Jenna first started playing soccer, it took all we had to keep Brodie off the soccer field. Now that he can actually play soccer and is a part of the team...well, he just doesn't want to do it. He's the player that all the parents look at and smile because he's just standing there. I'm sure if our field had flowers in it, he would be the one acting like a pony, picking the flowers. He'll be part of the game when the ball comes to him, but just forget about actually RUNNING after the ball!!! Jenna is really understanding the concept of the game now. She loves to run after the ball and kicks it every chance she gets. We'll see how the next game goes. You'll notice in the pictures how the Koreans spell Brodie....they happen to spell it Brodle. The coach went to get this fixed. There was another player who had to have his name fixed as well.

The tooth fairy

The tooth fairy came the other night for Jenna once again. Daddy got to pull her tooth out this time. It was just hanging there by a thread and didn't want to pull it herself. The tooth fairy brought her some ponies this time. The package was so big that it couldn't fit under Jenna's pillow, so she laid it by her clock.

We're just so proud of her when she makes these wonderful faces!Now, we know her eye is a little "crazy" as she calls it. It doesn't do that when she wears her glasses. Her prescription has changed for the better and we are now waiting for her new glasses to be done. We ordered them this weekend, so I'll be able to pick them up next week.

Quick note

I know that I need to write a few posts, but am very, very tired tonight. I'll blog tomorrow about Jenna and another tooth as well as Jenna and Brodie's first soccer game.

Sorry to keep you all anxiously waiting, but I must go to bed now.
