Slow Days!

Well, with all the activity going on, we had a couple of days yesterday and today. Yesterday, we drove 40 minute to another country. That still amazes me that you can cross countries so quickly. The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, a constitutional monarchy, is an independent sovereign state, tucked between Belgium, France and Germany. The country is 51.7 miles long and 32 miles wide, encompassing an area of 999 square miles with a population of 459,600.

Today, we had a really lazy day. We slept in and then went to the base on a little shopping trip. On the way to the base, we went through Dudledorf. Jason enjoyed finding out a little historical tidbit while there. During WWII, General Patton marched his troops through the town and his tanks got stuck under the arch. They finally got them through, but they left deep ridges in the arch which you can see in
pictures below.

Our funny moment for the day happened at base. Alice was taking funny pictures of the girls at the BX. Alice had walked away. Several minutes later, a cashier who had been watching from across the store yelled, "YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO PLAY IN THIS STORE!" Lily said, "Oh, I'm sorry." Then she snapped, "AND YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE PICTURES EITHER!" Lily says she will never grace that store with her presence again!

I just am glad we made it out of the store without Lily, Anna and Alice getting thrown into the brigg!!

Love to all!
