Water Jump/Family Day

I got some good news the other day. My mom is coming out to visit me this weekend. She is coming in on Thursday and will be here Friday for our Friend and Family Day this friday. There is a big lake here at Ft. Lewis named American Lake. Like any true Ranger event we are parachuting into Family day. We jump out of low flying Chinooks and land in the water where we will be picked up on boats and taken to shore where we enjoy the event with any family and friends that show up. Hooters is catering the party and good times should be had by everyone.

Next weekend Dana is coming out so I will get visitors two weekends in a row! I just hope we have good weather both weekends. The weather can be unpredictable late summer out here. It gets down to about 50 at night but can top out at 90 during the day once the sun comes out. Today was a little cold and cloudy though and I really hope it is a little warmer for the jump.
