Brandon...

What's Brandon doing this summer?  I have been asked that a lot this summer.  Brandon will not come home this summer…he is working all summer…well mostly all summer.  He began the summer by climbing Devil's tower in Wyoming with a friend of his…yep…all the way to the top...
ugg…right?
 He said he didn't take many pics at the top due to how windy it was…and how scary it was :)
Then Brandon moved on to his next adventure...working at Philmont, a Boy Scout training camp in Cimarron, New Mexico.  The map below shows the 70 miles of trails that he hiked during a 3 week period…
He is currently back at the USAFA working with the brand new cadets.  We always scan the photos on the USAFA websites to see if we can get a glimpse of our Brando…sort of a "Where's Brandon?" game…Chris found some good ones recently...Some of these pics crack me up… 
 Brandon is just off center to the right in the pic below...
…the back side of Brandon...
…and the front…"TUCK IN YOUR SHIRT CADET!!"
…Brandon is the fifth cadet in line…the first short one :)...
 …can you find Brandon in this one?
 I miss my baby!
He has assured me that he is speaking encouragingly to the new cadets :)
 This pic is by FAR my favorite one...
…look at the smirks on those faces…hahaha…
I am glad you are enjoying yourself Brandon…I miss you terribly…see you in 7 weeks!!!
