Wow! What a big weekend! We started off by going to a party at our neighbor’s Drew’s house for swimming and BBQ. It was a lot of fun. The kids swam and played on the waterslide. John, Julia and Jake got a soccer game started with a beach ball. I thought maybe soccer may be Julia’s sport, but after watching her moves, I think she needs to stick with the dancing. She enjoyed swimming with the big girls from the neighborhood, who always play so well with her.
After Drew’s we went to Mindi and Sid’s house for more watersliding and BBQing. Following all that we shot fireworks. The kids loved it! Especially Julia. She wasn’t sacred at all. She held sparklers & poppers and a couple times she got so close to the fireworks , I had to tell her to move back.
Saturday we worked in the yard and then went over to my brother Justin’s for more…you guessed it, BBQ and watersliding! It was fun, and Justin had some great ribs. Justin and Tabe had three little pools and waterslides for the kids and we brought our waterslide too. John liked the pool with the little basketball goal, He’s our little “roundball king”. Jake had fun racing and playing with the older boys. Julia is the “queen of the waterslide”. She must’ve went down that thing 100 times! Backwards, sideways or face first, she tried them all. It really wore out the twins as they fell asleep on the way home.
Sunday, we went to RiRi’s and had more… just kidding, not BBQ, we had spaghetti, ravioli and eggplant! Justin and I took Jake to his baseball tryout, so we were kind of late, but we had a great time. All the guys watched the Yankees/RedSox game, it was a good one with the Yanks winning 5-4 in extra innings.
Overall, it was a fun July 4th weekend, although we really missed Jackson. It wasn’t the same not having him here. He comes back Tuesday at 3pm. We can’t wait to see him!
Sounds like fun! That Yanks/Sox game was spectacular. That’s when baseball is fun to watch!
I know. It was like a playoff game or something.
