We're back in Virginia Beach after the hurricane Florence mandatory evacuation from the Ocean Pines military RV campground here in Virginia Beach.
We have settled into a routine of sorts with most of our time being spent over at Jon and Kelly's and the grandkids.
We are available whenever we can to help out and even more. At the same time we have had some time to ourselves and are enjoying hiking, biking and seeing friends here that we have made over the years.
Brooks is just starting team soccer and that has been fun to experience.
I'm impressed with the coaches that know how to make it fun and are creative and finds all sorts of ways to keep the little ones on task. 45 minutes goes fast but everyone learns and has fun with it.
We also threw in another visit to the to the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk. The boys seem to always enjoy it there.
A couple of Sunday's ago, while Harrison was taking his afternoon nap, Jon, Brooks and I went to the Oceana Naval Air Station Air show.
This was the highlight for Brooks. He got to sit in the cockpit of the airplane and had a great time.
The Canadian demo team: Snowbirds flew a precise series of maneuvers in their CT-114 Tutor aircraft.
We spent a couple of hours there and saw an aerial demonstration by the F-18 Blue Angels. We also helped rejuvenate a play house for the boys in their backyard. Jon found a used one and brought it home.
We put a new ladder on the side, a couple of safety rails along with some new cedar shingles.
We also leveled it all and made a sandbox underneath it. We dug out the dirt, put down weed control cloth and then filled it with bags of sand.
We topped it off with a weather vane.
If you look closely in the background, you can see that Kelly and Pam gave the boys' picnic table a fresh coat of paint to match the playhouse.That's a look at some of what we have been up to the last few weeks. How about you? Where are you reading this from?
That's all from this edition of the Roadrunner Chronicles! Thanks for joining us!
