Org Day Number Two.... Mommy didn't have to be in until 0800 this morning, so we all got to sleep in. Daddy and Timmy dropped her off at a long air strip that was built and used by the Luftwaffe in WWII. We waited in our hats and mittens until her formations were done, then we went to the gym to watch the competitions where two guys fought until one of them broke something or was choked out. After that got old, we bought pizza and went behind some abandoned buildings by the train tracks and had a picknick. We finished off the day back at the airfield where the final fanfare of a full-blown colors casing ceremony and pass and review (mommy calls it a "dog-and-pony-show" but we didn't see any puppies and horses). We waited in a VIP van with Mommy and a driver for a general to fly in on his helicopter. But I guess he decided not to come, which was nice because we could just stay and watch the show from the warm, cushy van (although a helicopter would have been cool). Half way through the ceremony, there was a large explosion and a fire ball went up behind the formation. Afterward, there was a bon fire party and Timmy fell asleep in the car on the way home.
