Nora’s Milutare Vsist with Yonkle Arik

Warning: I tend to find the earnest writing of young children very endearing – especially the invented spellings.   It is no surprise that my own child’s writing will total bury the needle on my cutometer.   I do recognize this is not everyone’s cup of tea so if that is true you can stop reading here.

These images are of a writing piece that Nora took all the way to the “publish” stage and was posted outside her classroom.   It was was about the visit last December to visit Julie, Eric (Onkle Arik), Evelyn and Charlotte.   Eric took us on a tour of his air base (a.k.a The Miluare Vsist) and Nora and Kai had the chance to sit in his aircraft.

Natural Bridge Caverns

One of the side trips that we took in Texas was to Natural Bridge Caverns.  We took the “easy” tour with the kids but it was still a fair trek and a stunning.  It was a chilly day up top but warm and humid year round in the caves.  Stunning display of all things subterranean.

San Antonio

We just got back from a 3 day trip to San Antonio to visit Aunt Julie, Uncle Eric and the cousins Evelyn and Charlotte.   It had been a while since we’d seen Evelyn and it was our first visit with baby Charlotte.   It was a wonderful visit with the Lacoutures and we packed a lot into 3 days not least of which was a visit to Randolph AFB to look at the jets where Uncle Eric is a flight instructor.  Here is the first set of pictures.
