Our new police officer

We have a brand new police officer in our family! Congratulations to Adam who graduated today after a grueling 8 month academy. We are so proud of him and all his hard work. And we are proud of Mindy and Caden who have been there supporting him all the way. They are a great family.
Rich, Diane, Kevin, Mindy, Caden, and Jake were able to attend the ceremony today. The mayor of Dallas was there, so was the head of the FBI in Texas. They both spoke at the ceremony. Adam was all decked out his his uniform complete with his real gun! We were in a scary part of town, but we were surrounded by cops and felt very safe.
They had a video to start the program, and because Adam was one of four squad leaders he was featured quite a bit in the video. Pretty exciting.
We came home and had a yummy barbecue with corn on the cob, salad, fruit and coconut cream pie. Then we had a great game of Risk. Rich and Adam finally quit after forcing the rest of us out of the game.
It didn't rain on us today here in Forney. We did a little swimming this morning and the sun was out. Record rainfall here in Texas. Tomorrow we are heading to the water park and hope for good weather!
