Jaynee wanted to go accomplish a multitude of things. The first was to go and see the Hot Air Baloon Show that was on Fort Gordon. It was really pretty to see about a dozen balloons all head for the sky just after the sun came up. I would have perferred it to start a little later, but it was great to see how excited the girls were every time a balloon was filled with air and took off heading high in the sky.
After a short break, we took the girls to an activity that was promoting safety. A local group was sponsoring an activity to collect important information about the girls, to include height, weight, pictures, DNA, fingerprints, and an audio sample of their voice (the girls did not provide a sample). All of this was then stored on a CD and given to us just in case there was a need for it later down the line. It was well put together. Outside there was firetrucks, police cars, and a mobile smoke house to teach them how to exit a burning building. We still need to work on that one.
The night before all of this, I had the opportunity to take Jaynee to another Ball on post. It was called the Instructors Ball. It was to recognize the great work that all the instructors are doing each day as their teach the new Soldiers how to perform their new skills that they will be required to do upon completion of their training. It was a nice evening, lots of messed up actions, as well as sitting to the most abnoxious table during the night, but it is always special to see Jaynee dress up.
The last week or two has gone by in a flash. I have started yet another semester of school, I am now playing on the company's flag football team, Jaynee and I hosted our first Family Readiness Group Meeting for the company's Soldiers and their spouses, we picked up a small table for the girls to use to learn from and to eat (but we need to stain it first), and just did a little shopping.
