My friend Krista who lives in Colorado came down to visit her sister and I got to see her! We have been friends since 8th grade! That's a long time, really! It was good to get together and talk. She is such an awesome friend, wife, and mom!
Clay and I went early Sat morning to "Meet the Troops" at DFW airport. It is such an inspiring time. The soldiers come out and all kinds of people clap and say Thank you, Welcome back! There were families there to meet their son/wife/hubby/daughter/dad/mom. It was amazing. Clay was standing at the end of the line and shaking the soldiers hands and one of them stopped and gave him this patch off of his uniform! Wow! I've gotta do some research and figure out what it is for, but it was so neat and awesome! Clay is even more interested in being in the ARMY or MARINES now. I highly recommend this to everyone!
Then we went to the Boy Scout National Museum 
and it was pretty cool. There was so much info on Boy Scouts and when it started, what you can do,where you can go, all that good stuff. Clay's favorite
things were the lazer shooting, pinewood derby cars,
and finding the birds. Here he is with a wax figure of Baden-Powell.
Ok, that's it for now, everyone have a wonderful, blessed day!

Wow, how cool! I didn't know you could go to DFW and meet the troops coming home. We'll have to do that! How amazing.
Yep, they come in every day of the week, but Saturdays are more popular. You can call the Hotline 972-574-0392 and find out what time and what terminal. Talk to the USO ladies there and get a pin and a free parking pass. I would highly recommend to not wave a flag, but to hang your arm out there or clap for them as they come through. It is cool.
Hey Miriam! Your sister does not look 38...and you don't look old enough to be older sister either. The 3 columns was kinda complicated, but if you email me, I can email you the link to the place where it showed me how to do it.
