"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."- U.S. Army General George S. Patton & 1912 Olympian

Camouflage Kids: Support Through Sports

On Saturday Jan. 31st We were joined with 20 other military families on a coach bus ride from ft Carson to the Air Force academy for a basketball game. The event was all about the kids really "Camouflage Kids" that is. The Air force sponsored the program (our transportation, admission tickets & $10 food voucher for each child & parent). The Parr Family also attended & I had traded off Maci for two Stephenson kiddo's Ben & Julia. The kids also recieved drawstring backpacks filled with coupons, a foam hand & AF t-shirts!!
We've arrived at the Academy!! Let the fun begin!

The kids right before they went on parade on the court. Maximus & Ben both reminded me that we were Army & asked WHY they had to wear the AF shirts.
