Day 2- Museums

For Thursday after the coin ceremony he had a base pass

Which meant he wasnt allowed to leave the base

He had to be back into his room at 2000 hrs

We walked over to one of the mini malls on base

He had to get some patches put on a few shirts and a few errands

He wasnt allowed on that part of the base while he was in training

LAFB was really big but they were only allowed to go onto a tiny part of it before that day

They had to carry those flashlights with him at night so they didnt get ran over

They technically were supposed to have them with them at all times

After we got some of his errands done and ate Popeyes chicken at the food court we headed over to see 2 museums on base

While he was in uniform there were actualy some really strict rules they had to abide by

No PDA so no hugging no kissing no hand holding nothing

No chewing gum

No talking on a cell phone and walking

No alcohol

No sunglasses

Zoe loves 'Uncle Dubb' and was his little shadow

She was walking like him and everything else

Kim, Zoe, Kellie, CW, Me and Craig

Mark, Zoe, CW and Kim

CW and his parents

We headed over to another museum for the MP's

We passed a pt field and it was so full of people running and exercising

I guess the colored belts show where they are in pt performance

so everyone knows if you're excelling or sucking

I love his smile in this picture!

He never really smiles for pictures so I have to sneak them!

Coloring pages they were handing out

It made me laugh so I had to take a picture and send it to some of my friends

Texas Sunset

His sister Jackie and her hubby Braun flew in and drove onto base

They had to come into work a day later than everyone else because of work

She was so happy to see him

It was so cute they really are such a close family they all had a hard time with no contact but letters really from him for 8 weeks

After this we headed over for some Smokin Joes bbq

His Aunt Pam (dads sister) and her husband Bruce got into town then and met us at dinner

Pam is a retired Master Sgt in the Air Force and Bruce is a retired Colonel for the Air Force who was a F16 pilot

Lots of military roots in their family!

Several cousins, uncles and aunts that havent been mentioned that were in the service and so was his Grandpa
