BOOT CAMP GRAD, TEXAS...
















































It started out pretty stormy...first there was a Hurricane Dolly that made life just miserable on Wednesday and Thursday. They canceled out the run in the morning and then we had the tornado and they made us all get into this one building, after being soaked outside...yucky and then the buses never came so we walked in the rain 1 1/2 miles to see the end of their coin exchange but it was worth it...we got to see Alli. On Friday it was cloudy but they stuck to schedule and graduation was spectacular. They are the first class to graduate in their ABU (camouflage) in the history of Lackland. Also Allison's Flight was top flight(Honor Flight) They beat everyone, including all the guys. Allison got her MARKSMAN also(only 5 did) We were so very proud. It was great. She could hardly wait to get off base. She went swimming at the motel, we went to Ripley's Believe it or Not, She just had to sit next to Forrest Gump... We also went and saw the River walk and we went to Sea World since she got an extra day pass off base for being Top Honor Flight.She of course had to eat Panda Express and a Burger King Whopper. Austin enjoyed flying there and hanging out with Allison and swimming till after midnight every night. It was a once in a life time experience and I am so glad that Dave, Austin and I were able to share it with Allison....a little wet and scary but it was wonderful.....
