A picture of us looking over the hudson river!

Ben hates this picture. I like it! So who's the one who does the blog? Me so I win! He just doesn't like it cause I took it sitting on the ground so he thinks he looks fat! Uh if he's fat I'm a HIPPO!

Well our 4th of July was very different this year....well atleast for me. I am so used to the reunion my family has and having my family around. Its hard for me to not do everything with my family....good thing Mandy won't live too far from me. I don't care if she doesn't want to see me I'll be there and she'll still have to LOVE me! Anyway Ben had to be to work at 4pm. Go figure right? Such is life in the army. But we went to the park around 5pm and daddy helped us get seated. We walked around and saw the cannons and looked out over the river! The kids were really well behaved. Early in the day I hadn't felt to great and just kept on sleeping. Anyway as the night went on they shot the cannons around 8:15 and Aidan was DONE. Ben had even given us earplugs and they weren't working he was still terrified. By this time I was shaking and felt so sick. So I didn't mind leaving. Plus ladies and Gents.....West Point may BRAG about their fireworks. But they weren't the best! I've seen BETTER.........Anyway here are some pictures for you all to enjoy!
