Last Saturday Bret had off so we went to the beach with another couple. We had a lot of fun. It is nice being only 25 minutes away from a beach. Mark liked being on shore, but not in the water. The waves touching his feet scared him.

Last night they had a 4th July celebration early at a park on base. It was free for all military families. Bret had work until 11pm so I took Mark and my friend Jamie and we had a good time. It was really hot. Yesterday happened to be our hottest day. It was 100 degrees plus humidity. It was a very nice celebration that they did for us. They had so many different fun activities for the whole family, a zip line, rock climbing, inflatable bouncers and more. Then at the end they had fireworks. I didn't know how Mark would like it, but he just sat there and stared at the fireworks.
