Alabama Adventures

Here are some pictures of the Air Force Base here. There are a lot of static air displays, and the road leading into the main circle has a flag for every US State in addition to a flag for each country that works with the US military and sends representatives to our bases.






























The houses on base are gorgeous! There is an entire neighborhood of houses like this for families of Majors and up. If we ever move to this base on a semi-permanent basis, I would be perfectly happy with one of these houses.















Over President's Day weekend, we went to Birmingham for Shabbat again, then headed to Atlanta Saturday night and stayed for two days with the Kovals. On Sunday we had a very nice brunch, went to the JCC for Laura's basketball, then went to visit Alison and the boys!
Daniel took to Yoni. He reached for his hand the entire afternoon. It was quite cute!














And I was quite content with Ezra in my arms the whole afternoon :)
















On Monday, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Mike had to work, but Will and Laura were off of school, so we took them downtown to the Aquarium. The Atlanta Aquarium is quite amazing! We went through all of the exhibits then did the special Titanic experience.
Here's a picture taken in the tunnel of a shark above us:














There wasn't enough room in front of any of the tanks to take a picture of us, so we attempted in front of a video screen of fish, but it didn't turn out so well. Here's the four of us:















Another fun experience we had was the babysitting evening! Yoni's flight has 9 married couples with children, us, and four single guys. The single guys decided they wanted to watch the kids one night to allow the other married couples an evening out. Yoni and I volunteered to help in the babysitting room. I went into it thinking that it would be quite necessary to have a female present with all of the children. I was actually quite impressed with all the single guys though! Yes, they were thankful to have me when a diaper needed to be changed, but when it came to playing with the kids and keeping them all happy, they were aces.















The best was Mike Love's story time - which kept all of the kids mesmerized for about 35 minutes...















We now approach our last few days here in Montgomery.
Yoni has his exam on Tuesday, a 5K run on Wednesday, the ICARUS tournament on Thursday, and then graduation early Friday morning. After graduation we're planning to drive straight to Memphis where we'll spend Shabbat. We'll then drive just past Little Rock Saturday night and back to Oklahoma on Sunday. On the way back home we get to stop in Oklahoma City and pick up our puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're still working on the name. Hopefully it'll be a no-brainer once we pick her up and get to know her.
