This afternoon Hanscom AFB had their Heroes Homecoming/Summer Bash to celebrate and give thanks to those who have returned home from deployment this year. We go every year and we always have a great time. They have food, rides for the kids and music. We had dinner first, then hit the rides and finished with fried Oreo's YUM! Maddie was big enough to ride on a few rides with Sydney which was too cute to watch :) It was great running into friends, including Sydney's preschool friends. The closeness of the families on this base is so strong, I'm so thankful to be a part of it.

Father's Day 2011
Father's Day started out with French Toast with Challah Bread and fresh sliced strawberries at Andrew's request. I wrapped Andrew's gifts with white easel paper and wrote "Happy Father's Day" on each. While I made breakfast, the girls sat together and decorated each gift with stickers and markers. The girls gave him new gym shorts for biking/running and two short-sleeved dress shirts for school this summer. In the afternoon we went to Russell Farms for their Strawberry Festival. It was so much fun, much more than I had anticipated. It wasn't crowded and there were plenty of strawberries to pick. Sydney had her face painted and Maddie got a pink balloon puppy from the "balloon man." We took tons of photos so I'll post them below. I'll post the videos in a separate entry below this one.

Hayride to the Strawberry fields!
