Would I be a really bad parent if I said I had the most fun working the parents club table? I had the greatest time sitting with fellow parents, relaxing with a Starbucks coffee, and selling club merchandise. It was great to see
@richard_miao again and meet his lovely wife at their club table!!!! And it was fun to see other parents as they came though Arnold Hall! I could not figure out the buses. One of the senior parents all of a sudden stood up and yelled, HCopter and (other C3C newbie PW parent), let's go! I still hadn't made it around the room to all the tables for my freebies yet (using my "USAA Proud Parent of a USAFA Cadet!" free bag).
The Parade and pre-Parade demonstrations were awesome! This was our first time seeing DD live in action! She texted approximately where she would be and would have a colored shoulder cord. I came down from the stands, assumed the ready position, and was one of the first across Stillman Field! That was also totally fun and weeeeee I didn't care if anyone laughed at me!
We told DD to show us what was interesting to her. DD showed us her room, old room, and some of the buildings, then ate hamburgers cooked by her squadron. It was a lot of walking and I was secretly glad DD had to leave us twice to go to a meeting and then a class. I was seriously eying the spots in the library where Cadets aren't suppose to sleep. We also enjoyed sitting in the air gardens.
There is still so much to look forward to at future PWs - we didn't eat at Mitch's, visit the academic major, and surprisingly, I didn't get much chance to shop!
