Diamond Brigade 5K Color Run

The 75th Field Artillery Brigade hosted their 37th Annual Run today. A Half Marathon and Color Run 5K were both available.  Our family of four took on the 5K and it was a lot of fun. Brigade families showed up, some with strollers, some with custom tank tops, and all with a great attitude ready to run. My *ahem*overly dramatic*ahem* teenager fell to the sidewalk upon completion but admitted he had a good time. I did stop halfway through to take a selfie with a couple of the Soldiers who were distributing water as my "proof of life" ... not sure where all the drama from my oldest comes from.  ;)  My preteen ran with his dad and came in 13th overall! My wonderful in-laws were in town to cheer us on and it was great to visit with them. All in all, a great day in Diamond Country!

Red Dragon Spring Fling

The Red Dragon battalion took some time this afternoon to enjoy a beautiful Texas Spring day. Each battery set up activities and crafts for the kids, Soldiers cooked hamburgers and hot dogs, and volunteers set up a Dragon Egg Hunt around the 1st Cavalry Division museum.  It turned out to be a really fun time of relaxing and visiting and enjoying the kids play.
