Well, we did absolutely nothing this weekend, except eat and go see Madagascar 2. (Save your money, go see it at the $1 theater, it wasn’t as funny as the first one and it had 2 gay references in it.) Today we did school and I had had dance (technically it was an off day, […]

Joel knew I had to rush out this morning so he woke up early and started school. That way if he had a question I could answer it, although I guess he could have called me on the cell phone too. Anyway he did ALL of his work (except reading) in 1 hour 30 min. […]

James had his glider flight this morning, that would be James not Joel. Senior members in CAP are required to take their glider flights too. He said it was a lot different than a plane. They did extra steep bank turns and then plummeted to the ground straight down. James said when they pulled up […]

After park day we headed down to Peterson AFB to see the F-35 cockpit demonstrator. We (and by we I mean CAP) were sponsored by NORAD to come to the base and see the demo. Lockheed Martin staff were there to brief us and show the cockpit. Now, I know NORAD from ‘War games’ remember […]

Joel proclaimed French a girly language and the stories stupid. The louder they made the computer the more Latin Joel threw at them. Can you imagine a basement with […]

If she happens to learn something in the process that’s great too. This week she’s coloring sheets with ‘V’s’ on them, making a rubber band […]

Well, all of the cadets had to come home early because of the weather. They spent Friday night getting snowed on, but the real rain started about 4am. There was torrential rain, thunder and lightning. They did get a few items checked off the SQTR list when the rain slowed down. The leaders in charge […]

After spending almost all day yesterday gathering items for Joel’s search and rescue training exercise (hereinafter referred to as SAREX), we finally have everything. Now the next time he goes he will just need more MRE’s and maybe a rain tarp for the tent (more on that later.) He was so excited that he started […]
