Storknesting Day 10

Well today we have been up at Lakenheath for about a week and a half. Today was also the first day that it didn't feel like we were busy doing things even though we did do stuff. Stephen and I woke up around 7 and couldn't go back to sleep. Emerson however slept in for almost another hour before waking up. Stephen found him in the bed just lying there, eyes wide open, chillin. After we were all up we read some books and then had some breakfast. Then we all got ready for the day. We went to the commissary to pick up some more food and then came back to the room for lunch. After lunch we went for a walk around the base. Emerson is always talking about the airplanes which we always hear and/or see flying over the base so we thought we'd go look at some airplanes. They have a couple propped up around the base and so it was fun to watch Emerson get so excited about being up close to the airplanes.

We continued our walk stopping at the library and the dry cleaners before coming back to the room. We then played inside for a little while shooting hoops and such. We put some food in the oven to start cooking and Stephen and Emerson went outside to play on the playground. When they got outside however they found that it was raining and too wet to play on the playground so instead they kicked the ball around for a couple minutes and then came back inside. While waiting for dinner to finish cooking Stephen and Emerson played with the blocks. Stephen would stack the blocks up and Emerson happily knocked them down.

After dinner we read some books and then put Emerson down for bed. Stephen and I then looked over our list of possible names and tried to shorten it. After we had shortened it we looked up more names to add to it. We haven't found any names that we are crazy about and our list seems to change almost daily. Currently we have: Everest, Granite, Dawson, Everett, Slate, and McKinley.
