Field Artillery Family Day

Benj is the Communications Officer for a Field Artillery Unit. That means we got to go to a fun Family Day where they bus us out to the field and they show off their stuff! I didn't think that Lydia would be too keen on all the noise so she spent the day with Grandma while Will, Gabby, and I got to go! Their favorite part was going into the tanks to take a closer look and sitting in the humvee Daddy was driving that weekend!
They bussed us to one site where they shot from the tanks
Then we were bussed to another location where we could see where they landed. The kids enjoyed playing in the dirt while we waited ;) It was fun to see Daddy on his drill weekend and for the kids see him "be a soldier"! We sure love our hero!
