Daddy's Home and We Had a Great 4th of July!!

Yay!! Daddy graduated from Air Assault School!! Justin just got back on the 4th from Fort Bennings, Georgia. While he was there he went through 3 phases of testing, drank a lot of water, and reppeled out of a Blackhawk helicopter!! Aydan has a pretty cool and daring dad huh? It has been something Justin has wanted to do for a long time, and he's glad he did it. He said it was the hardest mental and physical thing he has ever done....including Basic Training. He brought home all kinds of Air Assault certificates and a really cool pin to put on his ACU's. We sure did miss him, and we are glad he's back safe.


Justin in the barracks... after another day in training, in the 108 degrees weather w/ 98% humidity.



Fort Benning has the tallest reppel tower in the US Army, standing at 74ft.


Hummer's and water trailers can be lifted by Blackhawk helicopters, another part of Air Assault training.

Happy 4TH OF JULY!!

Here is Aydan at the parade Saturday morning. He's enjoying some blue cotton candy.

For the 4th of July, Aydan and I went to the parade w/ Grandpa and Grandma Snyder, as well as Dan, Keri, and their kids. After the parade we went and had hamburgers and hot dogs, then it was off to pick up daddy at the airport. Aydan was so excited to see Justin and ran and gave him a huge hug!! After the airport we came home and took naps. At about 7:30-8:00 it was time to go scoop out a spot for the fireworks. Uncle Garrett works at Electrical Wholesale, which has the perfect spot for watching the famous Maleluca fireworks.
