Moving Day

We moved again. Hopefully, this will be the last time before we come home.

This time we didn't have to get up super early, though. That was nice. We brought all our bags down to the helicopter landing pad and waited for our helicopter to arrive. While we were there, I saw this neat little red wagon. I didn't see any little kids around, so I thought it a bit strange to see a red wagon. Maybe they were playing hide and seek.

Once we were in the air, we saw this big castle out the window. Riley said that it was built by Alexander the Great. I don't know who he is, but I wonder if he knows The Great Itsy Bitsy.

The helicopters always fly in pairs. Probably because they get lonely when they fly by themselves.

 The flight wasn't very long, but we got to fly over a few little villages. It was hard to take pictures of them from the air, but I did get this one. It makes me sad to hear about how poor the people here are. They don't have electricity or water. Only a few of them have cars. Most of their houses are made out of mud, too.

We landed at our new FOB and were shown our tent. It's lots bigger than the tents that Riley and his girls use when they go camping. It has lots of bunkbeds in it, but not much else. I'm glad that I get to share a bunkbed with Riley. I got the top bunk.

Last night Riley and I got to Skype with the girls back home. Riley let me talk to them. They were really happy to see me and they got mad when I went away and Riley came back. Riley and I miss them lots, but it's nice to be able to talk to them.
