The 2006 Army Birthday Ball.
This was SO much fun! I mean, getting her dress and fixing her hair and all that fun girl stuff. I stayed home this year with all the other banshees (sp??) and Anna got to go. After having to sit through all the speakers and the dinner last year I opted to sit this one out. *grin* It was held this year at the Monterey Portola Plaza.
Anna says it was all great except for the food.... Left a lot to be desired. On their way home they stopped in Borders Bookstore. All dressed up and nothing to read. Anna loves to read, I just wish Adrienne was as interested in reading as Anna! But Adrienne thinks it's fun to do Math in the summer, so I let her. She'll go through almost half of the math curriculum I have in just 3 weeks!
Anyway, so they had a great Daddy/Daughter date. This one was especially special. ;) We decided that each of our girls would have the opportunity to attend the Army Ball with their Dad the year they turn 10. Anna is 10 so it worked out really well for her. I think any younger than 10 and it wouldn't be enjoyed as much.
Anna is going through a hard time because most of her friends have moved. Though, she understands this is part of military life. Honestly, it's a little easier when you are the one moving, but we've lived here for 3 1/2 years and now we're saying goodbye to a lot of friends.....They're leaving yet we're still here.
Wow, I look at this picture of these two very special people and I just can't believe how fast time flies. Seems like yesterday we were in complete awe of this beautiful little life, totally and completely dependent on us. And Sunnydale had hair......Those were the days....*sigh*
Just kiddin! *smirky grin*
I'll have to post more about our Summer so far and all the things we have done......It's pretty busy and it isn't over yet!
