Hood Heroes Welcome

So, one of the benefits of being in the military is getting numerous 3 day weekends to celebrate this or that holiday, or just cuz. On the weekend of Apr 11-13, we had a 3 day weekend to celebrate the return of the 1st Cav. Fort Hood shut down basically and had a huge party! There was a mini amusement park, free food, and booths where you could see and do pretty much anything. They also had live music. We decided to take John to see what he would think. He loved looking at everything. We met some friends from Bible Study and wandered around with them and their 4 kids. It was a lot of fun. I love this part of the military!!! :o)

Some of the fun animals to look at. The Budweiser Clydesdales came up from San Antonio for the occasion. The two top pictures were from John's favorite booth. They had animals out on display that you could look at, and then every 20 minutes they brought out a random animal. We saw an armadillo, a vulture, a monkey, a crocodile, and some snakes and lizards. John was fascinated.


Us at the end of the day waiting for the bus to take us back to our car.
