Monday

Today was day 3 of our visit with Clayton. We started the day with a bike ride and breakfast. Clayton went with me to WalMart to pick up a few things. It's been a while since he's done that. The little things that make up our day are not things he can do in Afghanistan. Something I think about often. Even the indoor plumbing and "real" showers are a nice part of being home for him, along with a nice big comfortable bed. I can't imagine [mostly] using a port-a-potty and getting 2 minute showers of recycled treated water.

We ended our day grilling burgers, brat and hot dogs. We are trying to squeeze in all of Clay's favorite meals in 15 days. Yum for him and ouch for my waist line.

We took a few photos today. They are in the online album.
