we went on a hike today

We went on a hike today at Ekifina creek. We took a nice hike in the woods. It felt weird that Leia wasn't with us today because she was in school. We plan on getting a canoe and going down the creek in a weekend or so. It was so nice to get out of the house. We are planing to go camping one weekend near Halloween at the wolf preserve and then on the 20th we are having our 2nd base wide yard sale. It is going to be a busy month.
Leia had a good day at school. Today she got to ride the big kid bus. The Youth Center was closed today because of Columbus day. So I was going to drive her to school but she insisted that she wanted to ride the bus. I took pictures of her first bus ride but I didn't have the card in the camera so it's in the internal memory and I don't know how to get it onto the computer.
She got a 91% on her first math test. Chris wants to frame it. She is learning to read easy words. She knows the,cat,dog,mom,dad,day,and probably a few more. She is learning patterns and she can count higher than any of the kids in her class.We are so proud of her.
Not much else is going on. I am going to take Leia to see Ratatouille at the dollar theater tonight while Chris goes out and qualifies with his weapons. I know he'll do good. I go back to Gulf Coast and dot the I's and cross the T's so I'll be working average 13 hr shifts. So if nobody hears from me it's because I am at work. Just until the end of January.I plan on taking off the days that Leia is out of school so I can see her more. I hope everyone had a good weekend.love to all
