Hays Family Independence Day

Hello there,

This is Darrick with all the details of our Fourth of July. First we got up and ate a breakfast consisting of breakfast bars and yogurt. Then we went to the commissary for some last minute things for tomorrow, but you will have to read tomorrow to see why we needed last minute stuff. While Jenn was at the commissary the boys and I went and got the propane tank filled. The place to get it filled is at the Navy Exchange Garden Center. They have a koi pond there so the boys and I spent some time looking at that. Then we met Jenn at over at the store. Then we came home and Jenn and the boys made puppy chow and I cut the grass. After the puppy chow the boys took a nap to be ready for the night time.

When the afternoon came we went to a friend from the ships house. Together we went to the base where they had a festival set up. They had jump houses, slides, pony rides, a car show, music and Chinese Dragons and on and on. Micah, Jacob and I went on a slide that was a shark. Jacob rode a pony while Jenn and Micah watch a show. We walked around the cars. Then Micah went on an inflatable obstacle course. Jacob went on the swings, the ones that go around. Then we all had a Slush Puppy and watched the Chinese Dragons and one came right up to our table. We left the festival at about 5:45 and went back to Walt and Tiffany's house for a BBQ and to watch the fire works from the base. The fire works started at 8:30 and we had a good view. They were really good. It was a good day, the boys were good all day and we had a lot of fun and we got some good pictures that I am sure we will share with you later.

Well that is the step by step account of our Fourth of July. I hope you all had a good day.
Happy Independence Day!
