Girl Scout Reward

This year Haley's girl scout troop sold a ton of cookies and with the proceeds they went to Build A Bear Workshop and Rainforest Cafe. Both the workshop and the cafe were in an indoor outlet mall so you can probably imagine that it was really hard for us retail deprived desert folk to be in there but not have a chance to shop. Here are some photos:

Deployment







I heard from Nick last night when his plane stopped in Maine. Maine has a really nice group of people called the Maine troop greeters. They basically hang out at the airports when they know troops are scheduled to land so that they can greet them and thank them for their service. They also photograph the Marines and then post the photos online. Here are the photos I was able to find of Nick. You can view more photos of the Marines and Corpsman that accompanied Nick at http://www.mainetroopgreeters.com/
