Incredible Friday

What an action packed Friday I had today. It started with a good friend / co-worker having a very nice retirement ceremony at the HQ PACAF bldg (court yard of heroes). Very nice ceremony and Joe with his 5 kids below. Then at lunch I decided instead of having lunch with Amanda at her school we would take off and go somewhere for lunch. We went to the officer's club for the Friday's special (stir-fry). She kept saying how special it was to have such a wonderful lunch and she felt like we were on a date.

Food was exceptionally good and hopefully we can do it again before Amanda gets out of school.

After lunch I had my quarterly reading to the 2nd grade class. Today's book was Balto (a true story of a very brave Alaskan dog that saved the city of Nome AK in 1925) still today considered the bravest dog in the world.
After reading I had about 15 min's before school let out so I decided to walk down to Pearl Harbor and just enjoying the beautiful day. What an incredible place

Then it was off to run a couple errands and get a bite to eat. While we were waiting for food Jake showed me his "lady-killer" look. He is such a ham

Then it was off for one last treat for the night. A scoop of ice-cream. While we were eating our ice-cream a young lady came up to us and gave the kids a doll her husband won out of the dollar machine. It didn't take the kids long to figure out how to have even more fun. It's so nice to hear the kids laugh so hard.

Now we are ready for the weekend!
