Growing Up

Yesterday Zach was so excited to show me how grown up he is becoming. The older kids had a temple trip and knowing I was only leaving base for a few minutes, I forgot to grab my military ID. I did not realize this until after the kids had left for Washington DC and the girls had theirs with them.

Well, hoping the phone was at home I called. Zach answered and found my military ID, hopped on his bike and peddled just off base to one of the DOD contractor office buildings. The smile he had as he met me with my ID could not have been any bigger.

We loaded his bike into the back of the truck and proceeded home. The gate guard laughed at him as he just had to tell him he got to ride off base on his bike to bring me ID.

He was bouncing off the wall with excitement when he got to tell dad about his exciting bike ride off base.
