Joe's parents were able to come over from Mali where they are stationed. This is the first time in a long time that we have been able to spend time with them. The boys loved it as they were able to show Grandpa their "BIG" Muscles. It was also one of the few times that we have all been together (Amy's parents on the left, Joe's on the right)
Their main reason for making the 3 day trip was to bring us the rest of our outfit that we had sent in one of their containers two years ago. However, it probably wouldn't have happened without a little Grandkid time bribing
We had a wonderful time and even made a trip to Benin where Dad Marine installed cabinates and electric, Joe worked on plumbing, and Dad Marshall welded up trusses for the housing at the clinic
There were a few minor truck problems, but nothing that couldn't be fixed on the road. Mom and Dad Marshall left just before Thanksgiving and made it safely back to Mali.
