Party Time!

I know last week was a little slow, but this week a lot more happened, and I actually have something to say!

For the last couple of weeks Matt has been busy at work planning a huge party for the 600 soldiers in his unit along with their families. This Thursday was the Big Show, and I have to say, he had done a great job. Catered food from a fantastic BBQ place, bounce houses, dunking booths, rock walls, DJ music, raffle prizes...I think he had a lot of fun playing with the military's money.

This is the line for cotton candy Matt was spinning out. It was pretty entertaining to watch, because the humidity was so high on this day the cotton candy was melting about as fast as he could get it on the stick.

Yummy.

Bennett's famous little half grin.
(This boy can get away with murder.)

This is Andrew, Natalyia, and George. They are the people we hang out with at Army stuff, and sometimes just because we like them. :)

This party had something for everybody...literally.

The next night we had a Hail and Farewell for the Colonel--like a going away party, but boringer-- and Bennett stayed with his Argentinian Abuela (Natalyia's Mom). She is so good to him, and we love her...even though we have no way of telling her this, since she speaks no English whatsoever.



But the real party started this Friday when it finally, FINALLY rained for the first time in over a month! Yay! And boy-howdy did it rain! Thank you!!!
