MARINE CORPS BALL

We got a room at the hotel where the Ball was and took the four younger boys with us to stay in the room.
We did not get a picture of the two of us dressed but we did get this special shot. We only stayed downstairs long enough for the ceremony and dinner then we got changed and took our guys to Walmart for The Hulk movie, ice cream and snacks.

We took our snacks back to the hotel and watched The Hulk.

Caleb didn't last too long! He is one crazy little sleeper.

Nick had this grand idea to stay up all night and watch the sunrise. He made it til between 3 and 4am. I promised him that I would set the alarm and wake him for the sunrise. I woke them at 6:45am and they got up looked outside and decided they did not care enough to wait 10 more minutes so they went back to bed. Needless to say I watched the sun come up alone! I also saw a group of dolphins swimming just off shore. It was wonderful and peaceful! We spent the entire night with the balcony door open to listen to the ocean as we slept. So the Ball was not that great but the time with my guys was awesome!

Somehow Nick and Zach weaseled Daddy out of the bed. He said he has slept on the desert ground so a floor was no big deal!

This picture will be kept for future use!

Aren't they sweet all snuggled up together!
