Mike, Natalya, Marcus and I joined Raquel at school for lunch. Then Mike was going to give a little presentation to Raquel's kindergarten class after recess. Our lunch was interrupted by the school being locked down because of shootings on VT campus. So instead of going out to play Mike entertained the kindergarten class with tales of Afghanistan. The kids all enjoyed hearing about what a army doctor does, carry each other on a litter and wrapping up in bandages. Mike brought all the class members a piece of Afghan money and presented Mrs. Brooke with a plaque and flag that flew over Camp Phoenix, Afghanistan on Thanksgiving day. The kids all enjoyed Mike and all the things he brought to do. After he was done we snuck out of the school while they were still in lock down. I wish we would have thought to bring Raquel with us because she ended having to be at school well passed 4:30pm and I had to go pick her up anyways because the buses were going to be even later.
