We had to spend most of the day at the hospital visiting some friends that had been in an auto accident, and checking on mom.
Later in the day, after a trip to McDonald's for a meal, we made it to the pool. Abigail enjoyed the shallow pool, but Julie and I took her into the big pool for a little while. Afterwards we went to MacPherson park for a picnic. Then came home and watched part of a movie before bedtime. It turned out to be a fun day.
We arrived at Abigail's just before the party started and I had to hold Caleb so Amy, Joel and Julie could get ready for the party. You can tell by this picture that Caleb and I didn't mind that one bit.
Amy made the cake to look like a strawberry shortcake hat.
Abigail had lots of friends over to celebrate her birthday.
The day after Tony got home we went to Denny's for breakfast and then said good-bye to Tony & Dawn.
We stopped and saw Amy and the kids on the way home.
Julie's mom was getting really antsy after 2 days of travel and a late night. She wanted to stop so we pulled into a rest area in Warm Springs. You can seeby the look on her face that she was in a good mood.
This dog was a puppy of one the soldiers in Afghanistan. There was a blog about him and money was raised to bring him to the US.
The troops were on the other side of the curtain and here the speaker is announcing the troops and they getting ready to raise the curtain.
They had a brrief prayer and then dismissed the troops.
Tony's grandma was very happy to see him home.
On the way up to Fort Lewis we stopped and saw Robert and Annie and their family. It's quite a group.
BJ and Jackie came a little late, but they got their time with mom!
