Fourth of July fun!



i have been thinking all day about how to blog about the fourth of july weekend. Frankly i dont know where to start, or what to include. Will it get boring if i go over every hilarious moment? Or will it be sad when i talk about how quiet things are around here.

There are some days that just take over parts of your memory, just to be sure they dont get lost. I had more then one of those days that weekend. On friday, Dave, Emmy, the kids, Kathy, James and i went to Lagoon. Im pretty sure i cant remember the last time i have laughed that much, or that hard. It was the most fun day i have had in..... well a really long time.
Before we went i stated that i probably wasnt going to ride much if anything, and then we got there. I made kathy ride all kinds of things with me, mostly because we are hilarious when we are apart, and when we are together its HILARIOUS with all caps.
We were laughing for absolutely no reason, other then to laugh. I kept saying, "why is this so funny??" and Kathy kept saying, "why did you make me come on this ride? this was a TERRIBLE idea" and that just made it funnier.

By the end of the day, we had conquered the tidal wave twice, gone blind from spinning on the tilt a whirl, broken her knee on the jet star, followed a terrified alexis on the terror ride, destroyed ourselves on the colossus, and scared ourselves a bit on dracula's castle. (which was sans dracula by the way....that was kinda weird)

And in between all the hilariousness we all enjoyed watching the kids riding everything they were tall enough to ride, and loving every minute of it.

the girls went shopping on saturday, it was so fun. And then that night we had a bbq with my family, and a bunch of fireworks. Alexis and Timothy both fell asleep during the fireworks and when Kathy tried to pick Alexis up at the end she muttered something like "nooo im not done yet" it was so funny.


It was so great to spend time with everyone, we had so much fun! We hope everyone will come and visit again soon, so that things will be busy and noisy again, it makes me happy.

Thank you so much for sharing.

 

Pretty much the best week ever. Alexis has added her gratitude for Lagoon to her list of things she is thankful when she prays every night. I smile every time. Thanks for making it such a fun and special time.

 

This is a perfect description of the weekend. I laughed my way through the whole thing and then was left with an edge of sadness in the end. I miss you like crazy!
