Happy?

Iraq is a desolate, lonely, depressing place, so any moment of happiness, no matter how brief, stands out as a bright beacon to this forced vacation. Two of these happend not too long ago on a convoy.

I have no clue where we were, but we were going threw some villiage and i noticed an Iraqi mother and her 2 daughters. The daughters couldn't have been any older than 4 or 5, but they were absolutely the cutest things I have seen. The were all dressed in what we like to call their "Sunday Best" and seemed so happy. The bright yellow and red dresses seemed such a happy distraction from the bleak tan and tan of the desert.
