We are going to the movies here on base but they do not open the theatre until 4:30 so we went to the Base Exchange to kill some time.

This will be our last event as we have to head home tomorrow, Saturday.  We will take the girls home to spend some time with Mom and Dad.

We had an awesome few days, on Lari's Spring Break as we do each year.  Grandpa decided that no matter what, we would spend time with the Girls.

Our days have been busy and we are all tired but as soon as we ate, we headed out again.

Larissa and Arianna wanted to take pictures of all the airplanes displayed at Ceremony Field.  They did not realize the walk was very long.

Grandpa drove us to another section that had more planes.....  As soon as Ariana sat in the car, she took off her shoes and socks and sat back.  She fell asleep within two minutes and was actually snoring loud.  We could not believe she was out that quick.
