Twenty-somethings

I realized for the first time, perhaps why this base housing community seems to be so much more teeming with playmates for our girls than any other one we have lived in thus far...

Earlier, on this sunny, cool, finally-double-as-opposed-to-triple digit afternoon, as I watched two teens walk down the bike trail behind our house with their families--I realized that those were the first teenagers I'd seen thus far at Vance.  My neighbor was quick to point out that (duh!) that is because pilots must enter UPT by their 29th birthday (in other words, this time next year, Matt would be ineligible), so much like most of the new-college grad pilot students are single, most of the married couples pilot student families are young, with two or three kids at the most; primarily preschool or younger.  My oldest daughter (a new kindergartner) is the oldest of any of her friends on base.  Made me realize that, at almost-31, I am probably one of the oldest women I have met thus far as well!
