Nice to Meet You Mr. President

Yesterday, Former President and Mrs. Bush visited our embassy and graciously had a meet and greet for any employees or family who wanted to attend. I took Jack, Jed and Huck out of school for the occasion. The President spoke to the group and directed nice words to the children and the he and Mrs. Bush posed for a group picture with all the kids and made their way around the group to shake hands.

He then posed for a few individual photos. When a small child wanted a picture, President Bush expressed regret that he couldn't pick the child up, but he'd recently had back surgery. He then sat on the edge of the small stage to pose with the child. I seized the opportunity and nudged our boys forward for a picture. He put his arms around them and spoke to them as they posed. Then he stood back up and bade farewell. It was great. These are the photos I took with my camera, later we will get the official one that was taken from the front.

The man in the last photo is our ambassador.
