This 4th of July was a fun and exciting one for the Cheney ohana! We had an onolicious potluck bar-b-que with friends in Kahana Bay, complete with Liz's famous marinated bar-b-que chicken!! Then we all headed over to the beach to enjoy the cool breeze and work off all that food we ate... It was a perfect day and the water was warm :) The kids got all nice and sandy and us big guys got to talk story and body surf.
Then later that night after Sam finished playing at the luau, we headed over to Schofield Barracks to watch their awesome firework show. Liz was designated the driver, which was really sweet for Sam and I because we both would rather not! So, for a change we both got to be passengers in our car... which gave us a perfect photo-op of Sam & I :) The drive was kinda long (by Hawaii & gas price standards), but definitely worth it. We got there just in time to get situated, get some grinds and sit down for a few minutes before the show started...and what a show it was! Sam got some cool photos of some of what we saw. Elia was both amazed and scared at the sights and sounds and clung tight to mommy and daddy. It was a beautiful night! We'd love to hear about your 4th of July too... add a comment ;)

It was so nice to have fun with you guys at the BBQ. The fireworks show looked awesome and I can understand Elia being excited and scared at the same time. Rachel did the same thing when popping fireworks at the Cheney house she wanted to see them but not hear them.
Lethe! I love your pics!! So glad you had a fun 4th! Elia is getting so big! Those firework photos Sam took are amazing! I didn't even attempt to take any because I feared they wouldn't turn out! Good to know for the future! So glad you guys are doing well! Give Liz my love! It's been way too long since I've talked to her! I'll give her a ring this weekend. So glad you have a blog so I can see photos and get updates every now and then! Love and miss you bunches!
