Saturday we were able to go see my cousin who is down here for training in the Army. I haven't seen her in years, but she figured out a few parks on post that we were able to go to and it was Octoberfest so the boys were able to pay some carnival games and ride a few rides. Hyrum was thrilled to be able to play football with a few of the soldiers and surprised them with his strong arm.
Driving past this cemetery was very humbling. There were rows upon rows of headstones with nothing but numbers engraved on them. The spirit there was very neat.
Hyrum enjoys a good game of tag, he talked Sierra into playing with him even though it was burning hot and had a great time.
One of the 2 formations we watched that day, the soldiers are not allowed to go off post during this training yet so they call roll twice a day to make sure everyone is where they are supposed to be.
We all had a wonderful, relaxing day and enjoyed all the time that we got to spend with Sierra. I remember being in 11th grade watching her play in the ball pits when she was in kindergarten. Now here I am all these years later with my own little kids. I feel old. :) Sierra will finish up her training here on Halloween then will go home for 2 weeks before she is deployed to Korea for a year. As we were driving away the boys kept asking when we would get to go back and see her again. Today as well they asked when we could see her. I am sure if we could figure out a way they would love to eat dinner with her nightly. Thanks Sierra for supporting our freedom and being a positive role model to my boys!!
