What a lazy day


What a lazy day we had. Taylor was the first up and wanted to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Hard to do when there isn't anything like that on TV. Ellyn pulled a video off the shelf and he watched that. After dozing a while longer I was up to make pancakes. Dustin didn't go to school yesterday as we was sick. Fever and head cold. He was doing better today, but still stayed inside all day. I headed over to the hangar and finished up my taxes. Had to do things a bit differently since we're living overseas, but it's done. Now I need to find someone travelling back to the States who will hand carry and mail them. Who knows how long it would take to arrive if I mailed it from Ecuador.

All in all a low key day. Mostly because I didn't have the energy for much else. I think the most exciting thing of the day was watching the army plane fly over several times at less than 1000' and drop six to eight guys at a time with static line parachute jumps. They use an Israeli made plane called the Araba.
