Major Dad Goes to School

Grace, Isaac and Anna's teachers had requested that, if possible, Mike would come in and talk to their classes while he was here on R&R. I prearranged a time that would work for all the classes on the same day and of course made sure it was ok with Mike, which I knew it would be.

On Thursday afternoon we headed over to the school.

First we went to Isaac's class.
some of the kids asked Mike how many pushups he could do and then wanted to see him do some. He did about 60 pushups in 30 seconds. The kids were all very impressed :)

You can see Isaac to the side clapping for Mike :)

Isaac's class also made a nice sign for Mike.

Next we went to Grace's class
while waiting in the hallway to go in, the 6th class across the hall saw Mike in his uniform and the kids came to their door and started clapping for Mike, it was very sweet and touching to see the respect and honor they had for him.

and lastly Anna's class

Other than Mike accidentally accusing a kid of killing his grandfather in Anna's class. All the visits went very well. It was fun to see the different levels of maturity from the 3rd, 5th and 6th graders and to hear some of the questions they had for him. I think they were all interested to here that Mike hadn't had bacon for 7 months because it's against the law over there :)

Anyway, I'm glad that we took the time to do it and I know that Grace, Isaac and Anna loved having Mike come to their classes.
