Visitin'

Lily's got a buddy in town - our friends Jill and Norm, and their daughter Amelia, are in town this week. Amelia is mere weeks younger than Lily and they've been thick as thieves. Check it out!!

We've been to see the castle, and it was a lovely day to run around the stones without any other pesky visitors. Jill and Norm took the girls up to see the beach but it was a tad windy for going down to the water.

They've enjoyed dressing up as twin princesses, and even had a slumber party twice (fallen asleep in the same bed). Young David's pretty much out of the action, but I think he's not too shattered...

Some Pictures of the Gang

This weekend, we attended a formal dinner/dance put on by David's unit - a really nice time was had by all. Don't we clean up well?




















This was The Grog, or penalty drinking box, or Toilets of Doom. We behaved with decorum and were not sent to The Grog. The results for those who didn't - not pretty. There were leaded and unleaded grogs - even the nonalcoholic one was pretty nasty, I think.















There was babysitting offered, and the ratio of kids to sitters was 2:1, which rocked. Kids had a grand time, we stayed overnight in the rooms on base so we didn't have to drive home at midnight, and following a leisurely morning, we enjoyed the really cool playground outside the billeting. And today is the British Mothering Sunday, so I got breakfast in bed and gifts made by the kids. Lucky, lucky, lucky me!!
