The Blues were in town

Well so I broke down and took the 3 kids to Jax Beach to the Blue Angels along with some other cool planes for the Sea and Sky Show. It is always a chore to pack up all three of them, especially when I know it's going to be packed. It was a beautiful day here, a high of 71 degrees. It was packed, but we were able to find a table for lunch, I paid to go in the VIP area, which was well worth it, and we found front row seats in the shade. The angels were watching over me. Plus I got to drink a beer and a half as we got drink tickets, and I let each of the boys have a Sprite, they thought it was Christmas! They liked most of the shows, but kept asking for the Blue Angels. Savannah was rocking out to the music over the loudspeakers, I think she is going to be our hard rock girl, she was jamming to AC/DC, Van Halen and others, the girl just loves to get her groove on. They also had this cool bounce house, obstacle course blow up thing called the Kiddie Hawk which the kids loved, because they related it right to Dad on the Kitty Hawk. We all got a bit sunburned though, I just wasn't thinking about sunscreen in November, I will have to remember that I am in Florida now. Savannah went for her ear appointment today. I got the lecture from the doctor that he doesn't like to put tubes in kids ears for the sake of putting tubes in ears and yada yada yada. He finally looked in her ears, put down the scope, stared at me and said, "She is going to have to have tubes put in her ears." Sometimes I would like to smack the doctor. Like, duh! So we are waiting on the scheduler to get back from holiday to find out the surgery dates availability. It seems a little odd that they have only one scheduler for the whole group there, I mean it is the hospital for the Navy in NE Florida, you would think they could find someone to fill in for a week, but it is the Navy after all, I guess we can't go that far in deluding ourselves. At any rate, I am about burned out on school and am trying to pump myself up for the last couple weeks here before finals. Christmas break can't come fast enough for me. The weather has turned cooler (finally) and soccer is almost over (thank God!) maybe we can get Jack to play in his final two games (but I won't hold my breath!)
