On July 4th, we enjoyed the celebration at the base beach. Can you find Karen and Abigail in this photo? :)


We hung out with three other families we were stationed with in Wyoming, all of whom are now stationed in Hawaii. This was a lot of fun, and we got a good laugh about the hailstorm happening back in Cheyenne!!!

This is Gabby (part of our group) performing the hula (with her dad front and center, taking pictures!)

Mom and Abigail, waiting for the fireworks. Abigail had so much fun playing with a light-up watch our friend Lynn gave her, as well as a synthetic sparkler she borrowed from Gabby. Sitting behind us is BriLee on her dad's lap; BriLee just turned two, and it is fun to watch these two girls play together.

The fireworks were spectacular! We never have sat so close to the origin - they sure were loud! From the field where we were sitting, we just tilted our head backs for an amazing view, right over the water. Abigail was mesmerized, sitting perectly still the whole time, occasionally clutching Mommy's arms and eventually sucking her thumb.
