3rd and 4th of July

 
  As I said in my last post, this week was a busy week. On Tuesday we ended up going to Atlantis park for an Allen Play Date. That was fun -  especially checking out the new splash pad.  Geoffrey loved it and spent a lot of time playing there. We left around two, because my friend Summer was able to lend me her Ergo baby carrier, so we had to drive to South OC to get  it. That worked out well, and so far I really like using the carrier. We also got a call about it used double stroller, the city Mini, on craigslist. So we met the person at the block in orange by the Krispy Kreme, and got ourselves a new double stroller, which we really like. It's the black and red one, and I think it's going to be awesome to use it Disney World.

Wednesday was 4 July. This year because we were so tired, we decided not to go to the Fourth of July parade. Actually turned out pretty well, because we sort of had a block party. Jeff next-door accidentally rented two waterslides, so they put one in front of our house and one in front of his.

The sun never really came out but that's okay -  we had a lot of fun. The waterslides were a lot of fun to go down, and we heated the pool so it was nice and warm. Angie and the kids came over as did Tammy and Andy and Lexi and Tammy's friend Michelle and her granddaughter. We had good food and  fun. Geoffrey took  his nap late though and we woke him up at 7:30 because he was sleeping so late. He never really got happy. The fireworks freaked him out. He did well though and he was brave enough to sit out there with me. But he didn't  go down the park to watch the big scary ones. This is the first year that we were allowed to  buy them again in HB. That was fun, it reminded me of when we were little. Katelyn seem to handle the fireworks well. Katelyn also had a lot of fun and did a good job taking her naps. The hardest part about it was Belle freaking out about the fireworks. as usual, we gave her her tranquilizer, but this year she had a lot of trouble with her bowels and could not stop pooping.  Poor doggie.
Ali in all, though, it was really nice Fourth of July.
