Dear Daddy,
Happy Fourth of July!
Today we had a busy, busy day. We spent the morning getting ready to go to base tonight for fireworks! We went to Emily's for a delicious barbecue (mommy forgot to take pictures there, but the only thing noteworthy that I did there was to blow a poopoo up my back and onto my brand new white shirt that mommy got especially for today. Thank goodness for free base water, mommy hurried and washed it so I could still wear it!
When we got to base, there were a lot lot lot of people. We parked ourselves in an empty spot, the grownups munched on funnel cake, and I ate my dinner. We went over to the O-Club area to see if Rose was still working, and sure enough, she was there and excited to see us! She held me for a minute and I loved her, and really loved her hat.
Mommy and Vanessa tried to get a picture of us girls... I was a willing subject but Emily was a little harder to convince!
The grownups tried to bribe us with my laptop...
They would count to three and whip it away, hoping we'd smile at it... this is the result.
Very soon after it was time for fireworks... I LOVED them! Mommy actually (legitimately) wonders if her collarbone will be bruised tomorrow from me... I was sitting on her leg and bouncing and jumping and getting so excited over them that my head kept whopping her over and over.
As soon as they were done, I was ready to go home. Don't be fooled-this is a scream, not an enthusiastic smile.
We wish you were here, but are excited thinking about the Fourth next year. I can't for it!I love you, daddy, and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Maya
