In The Army Now

Daddy has joined the United States Army National Guard. He will be leaving May 20, 2009 to go to Fort Benning, GA for 10 Weeks for Basic Training. It will be just me and mommy all summer long. I am going to miss him so much. He says he is doing it so that it can help our family out in the long run and because he wants to help protect the freedom I live with.

Last month, he had to go to drill in Monroe. It just so happened that it was family day on the weeking of his first drill. Me and mommy went to see him on Sunday and we we able to sit in some of the Army vehicles. We also got to see him line up in formation, we walked through a museum, and we watched a video of what it will be like while daddy is at Basic Training. Doesn't look fun!!! After that, we ate some hamburgers from the grill. We had a great time. Here are a few pictures from the day:
