Kids bring joy to our soldiers.

I was going through pictures the other night and come across these. While Chuck was in Iraq he was in harms way and away from his family and friends, but he did get the opportunity to be close to the most darling little ones you'll ever meet. These children were so excited everyday to see the soldiers (we'll maybe scared too from the last little girls picture:)) that they would stop everything when they came by and just pay attention to them. Which is great medicine for these soldiers who are missing their own kids back home. Chuck took a picture of some boys playing soccer and when they would see them drive by in their trucks, they would hold the soccer ball and run to the dirt road to wave at them. Knowing what a big kid my husband is.....he even arm wrestled some of the children's dads and won. WAY TO GO HONEY! YOU DA MAN!

These were the good moments over there that Chuck loved and brought home to share with us.


P.S. They love chocolate!
