Fort Benning Graduation

We had a really good day today. Graduation at Ft. Benning was at 10 a.m., then we got to visit with Jake for about 15 minutes. He then had to go to Airborne processing. We then went to the Riverwalk on the Chattahoochie river and then to the Peachtree mall. We picked Jake up at about 6 p.m. and this evening Jake, Zane, Kate, Francie and Jackson are all out on the town with Matt. Leah, Ken and I are relaxing in the hotel.

Jake has to be on base at 10 p.m. and then he has a PT (physical training test) at 4:30 a.m. tomorrow. He’s a bit nervous, as they will cut 40 guys from the Airborne Infantry Training class tomorrow morning - say a prayer for him!!! (UPDATE: Jake passed the PT test this morning and is officially in the Airborne school!!!!)

Matt and Zane will head back tonight after they drop Jake off at the base. Ken & Leah and the girls will head back in the morning and Jackson and I will head back to Atlanta tomorrow. We’re planning on visiting the Georgia Aquarium tomorrow and then CNN on Sunday. We fly back to Wichita on Sunday late afternoon.
