Retreat

 We had a post deployment retreat for Reese's job last weekend.  The first night there was a formal dinner for the adults.  And thanks to my friend Kristen who lives near the hotel we didn't have to put our kids in the childcare!  She kept them over night and the kids had a blast.  Reese and I got to hang out with our friends and catch up.
 Lauren, me and Leah.  As we were taking the picture Lauren's husband Tom commented that this was the culmination of the last five years.  I about cried.  We all commented about how many more gray hairs and wrinkles we may have developed over the last 5 years.  We've seen our guys through some grueling training, and two deployments.  Between the three of us we have given birth to 6 babies in the last five years and had to say goodbye to one of them.  Yes, I think we've earned everyone of those gray hairs and wrinkles.

 The next day we got to watch a half pipe show.
 Tony Hawk was the special guest.  It was awesome.  Lane got front row seats and got to meet him as well as many other skateboarders and BMX riders.  Lane was stoked!
