Don't tell Caleb

Caleb won't be very excited if I knew that I posted this photo on the blog, but I can't resist. It's absolutely precious. Caleb's mom found this old Marine's uniform at the DI. Caleb's grandpa, Dallas, used to be in the marines. Last time we were in Idaho visiting grandpa, we got Caleb to put this uniform on. Grandpa Dallas told us some stories about when he was in the marines. It was fun to hear him talk about his experiences and what he remembered about the uniform. He said that when they washed the uniforms, they had to iron them inside out. The crease had to be inside out on the pants and on the shirt. Caleb's mom got this uniform dry cleaned before Caleb put it on, and the dry cleaners must have known that you iron a Marine uniform inside out. Because it had inside out creases.


This picture isn't very good. It's kind of dark. I had to take it quickly. This is Caleb and Grandpa


This is Grandpa Dallas. He is the one on the right.
