July 2011

I know! It's the next year. Oh well. Here is July 2011!
Let's see what happened in July? Well, if you didn't know already, Olivia moved to a different CDC, because she went into the pre-school (3yr old) room and it took a little while to get her there. I think she transitioned in June. But in July they had a 4th of July parade, and Olivia got to lead the line for her class! She was so proud:

And we moved in July too! (or maybe it was June...?) I guess that would be the benefit of keeping up with things :) Well anyway, here she is on the 4th outside our new house, or tree anyway.

Later that day we went to Amerifest with Tesha and Tom and kids. It's the 4th of July festival on Kadena. They have booths, games, rides, food....and airplanes! Here is sweaty betty now inside a fabulous C-130! (It was July... AND HOT!) Those that have visited haven't had the pleasure of Okinawa in July....

Best Airplane in the Air Force (or so Daddy says)...

Here Olivia is watching 4th of July fireworks with Taylor and the little girl across from us. They got to use glow bracelets (courtesy of Aunt Dandy)...

Here's our star at gymnastics! She loved it, although now she is in ballet and tap.

Here mommy and daddy are at the MSgt Select Promotion dinner :)

We got to walk through the swords! (But I didn't know to pose for the picture!)

YaY!

And here the Ellis family is out eating. We all eat with chopsticks when the occasion calls for it!

Mommy took a day of and we played hooky - Olivia and I went up to the Aquarium and hung out all day!

We watched the dolphin show and even were splashed by the dolphins!

Mommy was splashed too! (Good job Olivia taking the picture!)

Later, we ate dinner and had ice cream, messy face!

Olivia got a "lucy" - aka a whale shark stuffed animal. So named after seeing a Diego show about a whale shark named Lucy.

It was an awesome day. It was also the day Mommy decided to start working part-time :)

Although, that didn't officially start until September.
