Overseas tour Day 425 – Ethan’s 18th bday in Freshwater

Another day, another birthday, but this time a belated one for young Ethan who turned 18 just before Xmas.

Being doting parents, our friends Tracy & Jamie were keen to celebrate being parents for 18yrs as well as the opportunity to show off pictures from Ethan’s birth right through to the current day!

This was to be a surprise celebration, so we all waited in the apartment for Ethan’s return from work before catching him unawares when he came through the door. Thankfully he didn’t bolt and despite the obvious embarrassment took the whole surprise party thing in his stride and by the end almost looked like he was enjoying it a little…..
