We went to Fort McCoy in Wisconsin to see Spencer on Sunday. The event was termed "Minnesota Nice" and was put on for the soldiers, family and friend.The first picture is the tent we ate in and that was only the first group - there was alot of people there.
As you can see the kids were very excited to see daddy. We rode a bus supplied by Beyond the Ribbon, so we had a very nice, comfortable ride there and back.
I think Zachary and Dakota were the first two off the bus, they could see dad standing at the gate waiting. There were lots of hugs going on. I wasn't off the bus to get a picture of first hugs.
oops, forgot to rotate this photo of Dakota, she was picking flowers for dad, and then wanted one in her hair.
Spencer talking to Zach just before we left.

Some of you may have seen the Sunday night news from either Rochester or Austin and saw the story about this. But if you missed it and would like to see it...check out www.kttc.com and www.kaaltv.com.......they both have the clips on the web. Rochester is called Feeding the Troops (or something like that) and Austin is Minnesota National Guard Sendoff...
check it out, it really shows you how big of an event this was.
Great photos Mom! I will have to try to put some photos on also :) Need to get them from camera to computer first! It was an awesome day and so thankful for the time that we were able to spend at Fort McCoy.
