More random pics of the trip

Here's a couple pix of the kiddos playing at the playground on the campground. We didn't stay too long...it was soooooo HOT!!!



We attended an officer's ball before graduation. I was quite excited to see what it was all about. Joycelyn and Roya have attended balls with their hubbies and enjoyed the opportunity to dress up and see their soldiers looking so handsome. Well, I was no different. Of course it's impossible to find a modest dress these days and so a close friend of mine who is an amazing seamstress made my dress. We picked out the style, fabric, ect and she worked her magic. It turned out beautiful! It actually didn't clash with Ryan's green suit either. I loved seeing all the soldiers dressed up and with their black bow ties!




Warning! Major tears going on here! Ryan gave his mom and dad special coins as gifts. Here is Mom all teared up as she's trying to read what it says. This coin is specifically for moms of soldiers. I forget the exact wording on the coins...mom and dad will have to tell everyone.



Oh gosh...yes, that's my son sticking his head in the end of a cannon. :) Well, he was quite interested to see if anything was in it!
