What We've Been Up To

 Beach time!
 Replicas of Columbus' famous ships, the Nina and Pinta came to visit Charleston.  The kids and Pascal went to check them out.




 The kids also enjoyed the yachts parked near by

 This picture made me laugh the wind makes it look like Pascal put on a few pounds!
 Meg baking! She loves making pancakes


We were super lucky to get to take part in a Skype interview with retired Colonel Gail Seymour "Hal" Halvorsen.  He is best known as the "Berlin Candy Bomber" who dropped candy to children during the Berlin airlift from 1948 to 1949.  Owen read his book and we loved hearing his story!  He was wearing his uniform.  Such a special guy what a Hero!!




 Have you heard about the Kindness Diaries?  It is a Netflix series our family really enjoyed!  We found it fascinating and it brought up a lot of cool conversations with the kids. Well, Leon came to town and we got to hear him speak!  If you haven't heard about it, check it out!  The kids really liked meeting him.  I was super impressed that during the question and answer time, Meg raised her hand and asked him where Kindness One was?  Watch the show and you'll understand her question!




 He signed his book for them!
 The boys headed off to an air show so Meg and I went to see a movie on post and we had the place to ourselves!!  We saw The Resurrection of Gavin Stone - two thumbs up!! We really liked it!!


 We see this guy's car on post all the time and we think it is super cool.  We keep hoping we'll run into him so we can talk to him.  
 Meg cooking with her buddy at Mimi's.




We are stocking up on goodies for Mimi when she comes. The store on post marked these goodies down to 6 cents!


Pascal will be leaving us shortly and will be gone ALL summer.  I found this picture on the camera and felt like it really sums up how we feel about that.  We are dreading him being gone.
I've got my work cut out for me in keeping two kids busy during the very HOT, HOT days ahead of us.  
If you are reading this blog you will probably be visited by us.  The Reber Clan will be looking for adventures and that includes YOU!
