July was a busy month for us.  After returning from vacation, Victor was still on leave but went to work everyday.  Then Victor's best friend and his wife came to visit.  Kai and I were able to play tour guide.  Kai is still not a fan of the driving tour portion of any visitors trip.  After they left, it was Engineer Week.  This translate to FRG fundraising while the soliders play sports.  We sold cotton candy, drinks and snacks while Kai played with the other kids.  Victor's company won the Commander's Cup and Engineer Week.  That Friday was the Engineer Ball at the Hawaiian Hilton Village.  Kai stayed with his baby sitters Kat and Kyra at the Hale Koa while we danced the night away.  We arrived back at the hotel at 11 and Kai was still awake.  He immediately fell asleep once I held him.  My good friend Courtney and her husband moved to Hawaii this month,  I am excited to have another friend here.  Courtney helped me dress shop and did my hair for the big event.  Sadly, I did say goodbye to an Army friend Kim.  Kai loved her son Anthony and will miss them.  We started Summer music class with a new teacher.  It is a big class but Kai loves every moment.  We missed a couple classes due to visitors and Engineer week, so we have make up classes to schedule.  Kai started swim lessons at Mother's Beach just east of Sunset Beach.  His friend Olive goes with him.  This summer has not been as hot as last year, thankfully.  We have been going to the local playgrounds to try and get the climbing out of Kai's system.  He loves to climb on everything.  And at home climbs on top of the table if you look away.
