July 4th Dinner

I have to admit, we knew they would do something nice at dinner on July 4th but we had no idea the extent of pride that would go into the decorating. Here are pictures of how wonderful the chow hall looked.

Chris and I enjoy our meal. Notice the walls behind us. There are streamers covering the entire wall from floor to ceiling on all 4 walls around the chow hall. Since we ate dinner and stayed there until 9:30pm the night before, I can vouch that they had not even started decorating then.

The happy family just finishing their holiday dinner. No BBQ this year, but we did celebrate with friends.

Chris tries to decide on dessert, while Cheua (the little guy behind the counter) gives me a big smile. Cheua was so happy to have his picture taken that he kept asking when he could get a copy. So we made 5x7 prints and gave them to him the next day. Service at the dessert bar was always wonderful, but it has gotten even "sweeter" after that. Get it, "sweeter"? C'mon, work with me here.

The "champagne" bar. Or should I just say sparkling cider.

Once again, we closed down the chow hall (meaning we stayed long after closing). Cheua and a friend pose for more pictures. Afterwards, I walked around and took pictures of the many statues and food sculptures in the chow hall.

Melting ice sculptures - an eagle and I think that is a swan. But it is over 120 degrees outside, at least they made it through dinner.

These baskets and alligator are made from bread. They were so cool, then I saw other bread sculptures. See if you can guess what they are.

The alligator up close.

A lobster or scorpion, you decide.

I had to take a double look at this thing. It is suppose to be an eagle. Can you see it?

How about sinking you teeth into this giant sandwich?

Then I just took pictures of the many patriotic statues and displays around the room.

Cannon. The gentleman sitting on the end of the table holding a cup of coffee is my CO of our Surgical Company. Hi Wil!!!!

This eagle protects the fruit, pop tarts and muffins on a daily basis.

Betsy Ross.

And what would be a holiday without a picture of a cake. So here are two!

I hope you all had a safe and happy 4th of July. Cheers!!!!!
