4th

Addie Mae wore her red sparkly shoes for Independence Day.  :)

 We spent the afternoon on base.  They had rides and bounce houses for kids, live music, and lots of food booths.  It was right on the water.  There wasn't much of a breeze and the sun was pretty hot.  Jase took Harlon to ride the rides while I found shade for the baby. 

 We pulled up a chair at the bar and grill on the water after the fun was over and had some lunch. 

 After we all cooled off and got something to eat it was a much happier place!  :)

 The beautiful view from our parking spot!

 We got home and I attempted to get a photo of the kids, HA!  Harlon spent the rest of the afternoon in his pool while Jase and I made homemade chili verde.  YUM!

 The kids were in bed early from a busy day and no naps.  After they were in bed Jase and I enjoyed our dinner then walked to the end of the block and watched the fireworks over the harbor.  It was such a fun day and weekend with my family.  I am really not looking forward to the upcoming year and a half, lots of time out to sea and another deployment in the future.  Pray for me!
