Family Day with the National Guard

Saturday we met Susan and drove to Ft. Chaffee.  This is the place Jared goes to once a month for Drill.

At the nearby high school, we signed our lives away and boarded a bus to get to the fields of the Fort.

They asked us to head to the food trailer as soon as we got there.  We located Jared and Jordan and got in line.

After eating we took a ride on an LMTV (light medium tactical vehicle).

 

Then we watched an artillery live fire demonstration.

Some soldiers got awards.  Some re-enlisted.

Canyon got to try an (airsoft version) M4.  He really liked it.

Then we loaded up on the buses and were taken back to the high school.

Perfect weather too!
