Boot Camp

Dylan celebrated his 7th birthday this month by hosting a Boot Camp for his friends.

Eleven boys attended and we had a blast face painting, doing an obstacle course, playing "Sergeant Says" and eating army tank cake. The best part was a visit from a Paratrooper with the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division. He brought his bulletproof vest & helmet for all the boys to try on and shared with us all about Boot Camp and his tours of duty in Iraq & Afghanistan. We are so blessed to have Dylan in our family. He is very kind and thoughtful and his energy is unmatched. We especially love his adventurous spirit. Happy 7th Birthday Dylan!
