Airman ManBearPig reporting Sir

Bonjour!!

 

Well sister finally got the pics of our lovely adventure in hot Texas up. They are pretty fabulous so I thought I’d post a little photo tour of all the happenings. I will cover the on-base activities at LackLand today; tomorrow I’ll put up the rest of the weekend’s pics. Too much for one day!

Bon Appetit!

 

The first day I arrived ManBearPig had base leave. So we were able to wander around with him all afternoon; just sister, mom and me (Jeff and the 2Andrews hadn't arrived yet).

When graduation ended, the airmen stayed in formation on the parade field and the families got to go out and find them and then they were free to go. The race was on. I knew I would locate ManBearPig first.

I have no idea how he fit in the tiny 6' bed. He said he would just curl up so he would fit. LOL.

While the guys and mom went to the PX - Sister, her L.B. and I all went and toured the planes around the parade grounds. No easy endeavor in the 105 degree heat. We sat under the wings for shade.

Bonjour!

 

The Duchess is back from the hot south. OMG was it hot. Sunday we all went to SeaWorld San Antonio (ManBearPig’s choice – but was actually a fun one!) and it was 105 degrees and 98% humidity. All we could stand to do was camp out at the dolphin pen under the shade and keep our hands in the cold water. SO HOT. But SO much fun. I love my family so much. Even after a big fight with the sis last month we have been talking through stuff and we had a blast. It was awesome.

 

I have some really great pictures, Sis has a great camera so she’s supposed to be emailing them all out this afternoon. My camera is getting so old that the pics, unless conditions are absolutely perfect, do not work out. It was so great to see my baby brother – I’m so proud of him. I honestly could not have gone through the last two months of crap he has been through. He is just totally lean muscle. So disciplined, so clean, so neat, so strong – he’s amazing. I love him so much. Can’t wait to put up pics – he’s so handsome.

 

Until then – I will include some pics of what I did manage to get on my camera, namely my absolute favorite plane – the Mustang P-51. This plane is a pimp and I love her. Enjoy!
