Today was the kiddo's Buckaroo Spur Ride. Aaron is a Cavalry Scout in the Army...his "MOS" or job as they call it. Part of the Cavalry tradition is to hold a "Spur Ride." To Aaron this brings about horrible memories including walking about 12 miles with a 90 lb ruck and 3 PT test in 1 day which all lead to hernia surgery not long after. To me it brings about great memories of the wives' spur ride where I got to shot an M4 and the 250 Bravo. Awesome times! And now Logan has his own memories. He had so much fun today and did a great job in all the activities. After all the fun we had a big cookout and then they handed out the kid's certificates. By that time both of my boys were tired and had completely turned their ears off. If I let Lane down he was running off everywhere and when I strapped him in his stroller he cried and cried. I ended up holding him for about 5 minutes with him crying like crazy and then he finally fell asleep for his first nap...at 2:30. We stopped by McDonald's afterwards for some ice cream to cool us down. The kids had lot of fun. When we got home the boys played outside for a while but that ended when Logan took a hard fall off the scooter. There was BLOOD! So of course his leg was falling off! We had to take to a picture for Daddy. He even had to eat some candy before bed so that it would make his "booboo feel better!" Oh and we were talking about our up coming move and he asked where we would be living. So for the 900th time I told him Tennessee. Then he looked at me and said, "but mom I don't want to live at KFC!" Tennessee...KFC...sure it all sounds the same!
Well I'm off to bed. Busy days mean tired boys and a very tired mom!!!! Enjoy the pics!
The yummy dessert I made for the cookout!
Getting ready to start the obstacle course.
Again my picture's being weird. Not sure why it is turned!
He had to rake the ball between the cones
At the "Range"...throwing water balloons at the Captain.
Shooting balloons with the water guns.
Learning how to spell his name at the "Commo" station...Lima, Oscar, Golf, Alpha, November
Reading off his name so they could guess what it was on the other radio.
Waiting to do the next station.
Lane was restrained to this....
To keep him from doing this!
Getting ready to read maps at the "Land Navigation" station.
Lane working on the 2 and under obstacle course!
Doing a little PT
He was suppose to be doing flutter kicks...I think he was just being lazy though!
Doing a little run!
Push up time!
