Mumof4 and RACW my son will also be a part of the arch or side boy duty! Did get a call the other night and to hear his voice was priceless. Can't wait to get a peek of him in some pictures, but if I don't it's not much longer and we will see them in person!
I am jealous too, I haven't been there in 27 years lol and believe it or not my Sailor and my youngest son have never been. It was just too expensive. We are hoping to go to Sea World this summer while we are on vacation. They have never been there either lol. My poor deprived children :-)
On a totally different subject. My hubby was driving down the road and saw money blowing by. He stopped and picked up a $20, then a $100, the a $50, other people stopped to help lol and were handing him bills as well. They thought he lost it haha. He ended up finding almost $600 bucks. He called the police and they were already talking to the woman who lost it. So he met them and gave it to her. She was very happy, he got a hug from her lol. No finders fee lol. But he was interviewed and will be in the paper. Don't ya just love small towns ? :-)
I'm jealous, juliebelle! Have fun!
Good morning, everyone!
you are very welcome mumof4 ;-)
We are having a pretty exciting evening in our house :-D My 18 yr old son has been training for several weeks with the fire department on how to put out fires in cars or in car crashes. Tonight he is working as a volunteer for the Pit Crew for Denny Hamlin in tonight's all star race. So whenever Denny Hamlin comes into pit road we will likely see him. And in case there is a fire he is ready. He is super excited as you can imagine. What a fun and exciting adventure for our future Sailor :-)
The performing divisions usually get to perform in one or usually two PIR ceremonies before their own. Since you know where they will be performing you can make friends with the members for those PIR dates and ask them if they could take a few pics and come back and post them for you. Most people on this site are super nice and very willing to help put a smile on your face :-) I did this and got to see my daughter singing with the choir a week before she had PIR. I can tell you it was an amazing feeling seeing her in those pics :-)
Mumof4: Thanks for the heads up. I thought there might be a good chance of us seeing our boys...or hoped anyway.
