Marines graduation

 
We went to Parris Island, South Carolina for Ethan's (Aaron's nephew) graduation from Marine boot camp on January 31st.  It's been a long 13 weeks (especially for his Mom) of hard training and we're so proud of him!  Ethan had over 40 people there supporting him.  Here's most of our group trying to stay warm before the ceremony started.
 We were really excited to go and heard that it would be an amazing experience.  The discipline that all of the Marines had was very impressive and everyone was so friendly around the base.

 Justin left before we took the group and family shots with Ethan so we got a picture of them together at lunch.  Looks like Justin has caught up with Ethan in height!
 Will has always been into anything military and now he is even more.  We bought him this camo outfit on base.  Ethan gave him his canteen and Will was on cloud nine!
The few.  The proud.  The Marines.  Way to go, Ethan!
