Week in Review 6/8/15-6/14/15

"The police officer who puts their life on the line with no superpowers, no x-ray vision, no super-strength, no ability to fly, and above all no invulnerability to bullets, reveals far greater virtue than Superman - who is only a mere superhero." -Eliezer Yudkowsky

We had several fun things last week!  Early in the week, we went to an event at our local Friendly Center Harris Teeter called "Share the Sweetness."  It was a partnership between Southern Breeze Sweet Tea and the Greensboro Police Department for National Iced Tea Day.  Joseph got a personal tour of the Greensboro Police Mobile Command Center (which is used in standoff/hostage situations, etc) by officer Sue Davis.

He also got some prizes from Southern Breeze Sweet Tea...

And Jojo and Papaw got on WFMY2 news!!!

Then, on Saturday, we went downtown to the National Night Out Kick-off Block Party, sponsored by the Greensboro Police Department.  Joseph got to visit with his favorite GPD officer, "Miss Rosanne."  We know Rosanne through the community watch program in my parent's neighborhood and Joseph absolutely adores her.  In fact, whenever we are outside and hear a police siren, he stops dead in his tracks, smiles, and says "Ooooh, Miss Rosanne's car!"  He hadn't seen her in a few months, and he was so excited to hang out with her again!

Joseph, along with David and Papaw, got to sit in one of these awesome National Guard humvees.

We got to talk to firemen, and they showed Joseph some of their equipment, which was super cool!

And we got to eat a free picnic of hotdogs and hamburgers!

For several reasons, David and I have a special spot in our hearts for law enforcement officers, so it was great to spend part of our week celebrating our first responders!

One random pic for the week - Joseph has become quite the little climber and loves to get in funny positions.  I captured this cutie getting into this mischief...

Hope everyone had a great week!
