Fall Fun

FALL is here and the weather has been amazing.  Gavin and I took advantage of it and went to the park the other day.  He absolutly LOVED being outside, getting to run around, and sliding down the slides as well as climbing up the slides.  He really liked playing and I was amazed to see how independent he was trying out all the equipment. 

Friday night, we went to a BBQ for all the families who are going to Saudi to give everyone an opportunity to get to know one another on a more personal level.  I got to meet lots of the wives and talk about all of our "feelings" about moving.  We were able to discuss things with couples who have already been to Saudi and learn more about the lifestyle.  One of the main purposes for the BBQ was to allow all the kids to meet so they could feel more comfortable with the move.  Gavin had a blast watching all the "older" kids playing and running around.  He chased them around and was in awe of them.  He laughed and giggled at them.  He even participated in the game Twister with them.  It was hilarious and beyond words, precious.  He was so into the kids that he lasted until 10:30pm playing and hanging out.  There is another little boy who is a month younger than Gavin and they hung out too.  They shared each other's sippy cups, pacifiers, and snacks.  They even took turns tearing apart napkins and throwing the shredded pieces on the floor.  We didn't mind since it was entertaining them. 

Here are some pics from our week!
