4th of July 2014!

After teaching all morning, I came home exhausted!  But, no rest for the weary - it was time to get ready for our BBQ.  We invited a couple of the luteniants over for swimming and dinner.  It was such a gorgeous day, nice and cool!  Everyone had fun in the pool.  Then we had a delicious BBQ.  The Jones' have a smoker and always bring the most delicious smoked meats - I want one really bad!  The Jones' have been here longer than us and are leaving in just a few weeks for Japan.  Jess, another wife and myself always got together Wednesday mornings for tea and talking.  Jess had Alexandria a couple months before I had Bristol, and it was fun to be pregnant together and have our little babies together.  Bristol is having her first little NAVY brat experience of having her first little friend leave - and she doesn't even know it!  We will really miss them.

 The kids and Tj set up the tent and had a sleep out.  I opted to sleep inside in our bed since I was teaching BodyPump in the morning.

 We had a fire and 'smores before it got dark.

 After everyone left - and the kids were running around with friends somewhere else in the neighborhood - it was nice to just hang out with Tj at the fire.

And the sparklers!  Happy 4th of July!!  We had such a great holiday!
