The past couple of weeks I have been receiving hand written letters from my cousin Isaac. He has been in OCS at Ft. McClellan. So on Friday we went to Anniston for his Graduation and Pinning. It was so good to see him! It has been almost 10 years since the last time I saw him. He is from my dad's side of the family and they all live in California!
The graduation was in this tiny chapel on base and there were more people than chairs. The guest speaker, who was to give a motivational speech, was not very motivational at all! But the rest of it was good.
After the graduation the guys from California gathered under a tree out in the field so that they could be pinned by the state of California. Luckily it was a gorgeous day!
Isaac asked that my Dad perform his pinning.
Dad Punched him! LOL! Apparently that is what happened to my dad when he was pinned.
Then he had to put the pins in his Hat...it took forever b/c they go on a seem which was not easy to poke through.
While we were waiting for the others to finish up, Taylor got bored. So she played in the dirt! That's my girl!

Isaac had to fix his hat..
While He went to gather his bags from his room, hung out at the bleachers next to the Mess Hall.
Mac fell sound asleep.
This is where they have to do pull ups before they go in to eat. Taylor pretended like she was flying.
Finally Isaac showed back up...with lots of heavy stuff!
Dad and Taylor went for a tour of the place...
Then it was time for Isaac to leave. We waited with him until he got on the bus.
That is him hanging out the window.
