Moved to Fishers, IN

Well for the last month and half we have been in transition from Georgia to Indiana. I have been working half the week in Indiana and half the week in Georgia, driving or flying back and forth. We are all tired. Finally on May 8th we moved the family up to Indiana and Grandma Esplin came out to help with the move. I had to go back to Ft. Stewart for two more weeks where I finally signed out of post on May 22nd to start my terminal leave then officially finished with my Active Duty Service Obligation on June 26th, 2008. Here are some pictures of Cole, Anna, and Grandma Esplin at the Flowing Well in Carmel, IN.

Picking Strawberries in Richmond Hill, GA

Anna hard at it picking delicious strawberries

Cole showing his caterpillars

Lori took the kids to Richmond Hill, GA to pick strawberries while I was in Indiana working. They had alot of fun. Cole was not so interested in the strawberries but he did find a handful of caterpillars to play with. Anna did all the work picking the fruit while Cole tormented the insects and ate all the strawberries......

A day at the Beach near Hilton Head.....obviously very fun for the kids......Anna, Cole, Tanner, and Austin.

Okefenokee Swamp Trip

Well, we made a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp which was quite fun. There were alligators, birds, snakes, turtles, river otters, and much more which we saw on the boat tour through the swamp and train ride around the entire place. 741 square miles of swamp that was incredible.....Lori is MIA in the pictures as she was either not there or just taking the picture......obviously the latter. Fun stuff!!!!!
