Our new house

This is the house they offered us once it came available to live in. We ended moving in Aug 2008. We absolutely love the new house. Its a 4 bedroom just like our other but bigger. We have 2 full bathrooms and one 1/2 bathroom. A separate laundry room unlike our old house where the washing machine and dryer were in the kitchen. We also have a garage attached which is awesome...most houses in England don't have garages and if they do aren't big enough for a car to fit in. This house also has pull down screens on the windows, so we don't have flys flying around all the time. This is definately an upgrade from the first house : )

Pictures of our 1st house we lived in

This is where we lived when we first go to England. We lived in Newmarket which is about 15 mins from the bases. It is government housing but just not on the base. The Military decided they weren't going to lease the housing again once the lease ran out. So everyone had to be out of the housing by Oct 31, 2008. They gave us the choice of moving to economy housing or moving into other government housing. We decided we wanted to live on the base since it would be alot more convienient for the kids with school and sports and also groceries. So we were put on a waiting list because we wanted the brand new housing that was being built.

Playing Devin's Guitar Hero

Father's Day

Spent the afternoon flying kites. The kids had a blast!

Checking out the deer

We paid to take a train into the deer park area where the guides stopped and talked about the deer and put food around the train for the deer. As you can see they would come very close to us to get the food. We really enjoyed this and the kids loved that they would come so close to us.

Few more Dinosaur Park pictures

We definately should invest in one of these for the kids...lol

We drove to a dinosaur park that is about an hour or so away from base. We went with some friends of ours and the kids had a blast. They had fake dinosaurs throughout the park and also had some that you could walk into and slide down. They had a sand area they could play in, swing and slide area, miniture golf, petting zoo, little pedal bikes/gocarts and they also had an area where you could take a train/wagon ride and they would bring you back to where the deer were. The guides got out and fed the deer around the train/wagon we were in and the deer would come right next to us. The kids really enjoyed everything and there was lots of walking involved because the park was pretty big.

Zachary singing

I found Zach sitting on the platform between the first and second set of steps singing and playing with the train set...that is the noise in the background.

Caught him!

Zachary thought it would be fun to get in our friends baby jumper...lol

Zachary had a blast playing on the slip and slide.....and the water was freezing cold even with it being really hot outside.
