Finally A Few Videos

Finally figured out how to upload these videos - the trick is you have to wait a really long time! This was the best video we shot for the day - we were pretty far from the course, so we really had to zoom in. This guys finished 3rd overall - not too bad!

I figured since I was at the computer I would also include a video of some of the "wildlife" that we have encountered here. The last video is of some squirrels my mom and I came across during our visit to Oceanside Beach. On the east coast, we're much more accustomed to tree squirrels. Here, they are ground squirrels - much to Liam & Vega's amusement, but also to their angst since they can't get to them...the wiley squirrels never venture into the yard, but scavenge the area just outside of the fence. Drives Liam & Vega nuts! This particular squirrel in the video is obviously comfortable around humans as you will see from the lady feeding them...not so with the squirrels on base - they scatter any time the dogs are let out into the back yard! Also, notice how the squirrel "chirps" - this surprised me the first time I heard it - thought it was a bird!

Much love and blessings to everyone and have a wonderful Memorial Day!

PS (as usual) - We have some friends getting stationed in Japan very soon. I mentioned Summer & Gene in my last post - they will be heading over in July. I also ask that you pray for our friends Luke & Tracy and their two girls Brianna & Samantha. They will be leaving for Okinawa in about three weeks. We will miss them terribly! Please continue to keep all of them in your prayers! Thanks!
