However, we did celebrate yesterday on Andersen AFB. We had a Freedom Festival, complete with free hot dogs and hamburgers, a bouncy castle, a water slide, face-painting, paintball, snow cones, hulu hoops, a live band, and lots of free door prizes. In fact, we won a 20 dollar gift certificate to a local Italian restuarant. And, the highlight of the day really was Olivia taking a ride on a Carabao. We didn't bring our camera, so no pics. But, here is what a Carabao looks like. Can you believe we got Olivia on it!?! Right before riding it, she said, "He doesn't like to walk, but it sure will be fun!" And, later, she said, "it was fun," although she was a bit scared when the moment came to hop in the saddle. She said, "it went clumpity-clump, but I held on."
We hope everyone enjoys a Happy 4th of July! We are planning on watching a movie, getting some ice cream (maybe homemade if we can gather the ingredients), and enjoy the day off!
Happy 4th!

Happy Belated 4th to you all! No fireworks at all??Well, you didnt really miss much here in the states either. It POURED down during the fireworks display at Hollister. They went ahead and held them,but had to start early because of weather, so it wasnt even dark yet, and then the rain and stuff you couldnt see through the windshields of our cars much,but oh well, the kids seemed to enjoy them a little bit! Thanks for sharing the link about our founding fathers sacrifices( I really never knew they went through all of that for not recanting their decision)Amazing!!
Hugs to you all...thanks again for keeping us all informed on how you are doing! LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!
