Shane had duty on the 4th but we made the best of it. Since he was stuck on the ship, I went and hung out with him for a while! He took me up (and up and up) to the bridge so I could see where they drive the ship and we had a picnic dinner.

Move out of the way - I'm driving this monster!

Having our 4th of July picnic dinner in Shane's stateroom!
While home, Shane performed his first reenlistment for EM2 Boegli. I know he was really honored, and I thought it was pretty cool to see him on the other side of a reenlistment.
Keeping with an American themed weekend, we decided to go see a movie - our first time at a Japanese theater! We watched Ironman 2 (in English with Japanese subtitles) and for a true movie experience you HAVE to get refreshments...these were some of the combo options, BEER COMBOS!!
We went with a more traditional popcorn and coke combo - but got half regular and half carmel popcorn, yum!!
Shane got a chance to feel the baby move a lot more this time - and leave it to him to find a way to pick on the baby before she's even born!
He thinks it's hilarious to gently shake/tap my belly - especially if it causes her to move. I on the other hand am not very fond of this little game since I AM attached to the belly he's messing with! Silly guy!!
Yay, I've been waiting for you to post! Looks like a fun 4th of July and you look amazing! For me, the last paragraph of your post was cutoff some. I don't know if anyone else saw that too.
ReplyDeleteWhat else have you been up to so far? When are you coming home again? Is all the baby stuff set up?
