We got back about a hour ago from being in South Carolina, we went to see my brother graduate from Basic Training, he went in to the Army National Guard, the first day was family and he could not leave the base so we stayed there most of the day.

Then the next day was Graduation day so we went early to the building just to wait in a very crowded space for a hour before we could sit down, then they gave a couple speeches on how great they were, sang the national anthem, the Solders said The Solders Creed, and sang the Army Song, then they graduated!

After that we got in the car With Erik and drove to Virginia where he had to go to AIT Training at.

Here is a picture of the first time we “saw” Erik

Then that night we ALL stayed at the hotel, the next morning we were going to the base to see when they needed him to report in, The Lady there thought he Was reporting in, and when she knew the mistake it was to late and she would not let him leave the Base, and the told us to leave (We learned later that they did not need him until late that night). But that is a whole other story.

But anyway, we were going to stay another night in Virginia but then we called the Ferry’s in New Jersey and asked them if we could go to there house early, They said yes, so off we went to New Jersey.

We Stayed in New Jersey for 3 days, and just relaxed, it was so Awesome. The Last night we were there we all played a game of Ultimate Frisbee, we played till 9:30 until it was so dark and foggy mostly all you could see was the light up Frisbee, that was soooo fun!
