Battalion fun day

It is safety week at Fort Riley, and on of the activities Richards battalion had was a family "fun" day. They did some safety briefings for the soldiers and then had a cook out, some sports (baseball game, relay run etc.) it was fun. Turned out to be on one of my days off, and was a nice way for Richard to spend his work day. This is right before they fed us all, they fed A LOT of people when you add in all the soldiers and their families that were there.
Here is Richard in the batting cages, it might have been a little soon since his back surgery for him to be doing this! Luckily he seems okay today so maybe it was alright.


Here is Staci checking out the firetruck they had there, was neat she got to get inside and see how it all works


and here she is in the police car, she got to get up front as well and see all the new technology they have now, it was pretty impressive.



She got her face painted, this is once it was all done.




and here she is getting it painted.





They finally got the blow up slide pumped up and staying up, it kept deflating at the beginning of the day.





Richard throwing the balls into the anti gravity chamber, you had to try and knock down these alien heads that just floated there, he did pretty well.
Today we went back over to the old house to get ready for the packers to come in the morning, they will pack everything tomorrow and then the movers come on Monday to deliver it to us, we get to sign for our house tomorrow and I think we can take possession of it then as well, it will be nice to get all moved in and settled. Levi will be home from Utah on Saturday and Sage is coming with him, so they will be here to help me get everything put away, fun for them....

  1. That sounds so fun. I really like the people Shawn works with, but IBM never has family days. It's really too bad, because we don't get to visit much. They used to. Hope all goes well with the move. It is really neat that Levi and Sage are so close.
