Dear Mommy,
We were able to celebrate July 4th on Kadena Airbase! This isn't the base that Jayme lives on, but it is one nearby. Unfortunately, it was very, very rainy, but we still went and had fun. Here I am, do you see all the planes behind me?
They had many displays to see. First we ducked into one of the planes to get out of the rain, but it was very dark. Can you see me?
Here's the outside of that plane. Ugh! Rain! I got a little wet, but dried off pretty quickly.
The kids were restless, so we took a little break to let them go on a ride. They had fun on the swings, even though it was still raining. Maybe I need to get a raincoat like theirs...
We also got to see some helicopters! Very neat. Here I am on the back of a Pave Hawk
And I even got to pretend to drive it!
Here's the front of it.
And this is a CH-46. Its used a lot for transport of course.
Do you see me?
They had some ground vehicles too. This is some sort of missle launch thingie. Jayme's husband explained it, but he used too much military jargon!
They also had some weapons displays. Here you can see some rifles and packs.
And of course another plane. This one was the biggest one there!
Look how big its tires are.
We had lots of fun checking things out. The fireworks got cancelled because of the rain unfortunately But maybe we'll see fireworks another time. Happy 4th of July mommy!
