The weekend was jammed pack with family, friends, food,
fireworks, and fun.
Our celebrations started Thursday night. We headed down to the town’s firework
show with my parents and my neighbor.
Hallie entertained herself with
rocks until it got dark for the fireworks.
Oh, I need to remind myself not to park and sit in front of a big street
light next year. The fireworks would
have been a lot more enjoyable without the bright light.
Friday morning I headed to the gym. I needed to burn some extra calories for all
the food consuming that was going to happen over the weekend. After my workout, I picked up Bryson. We had a little lunch date and bought some
more fireworks for our Saturday get together.
The kids went to another fireworks show at night time with my
parents. David and I took that that time to enjoy a movie. The opportunity rarely comes when we can sit down and enjoy a movie. So we take it when we can.
We had family and friends over on Saturday. I wanted this day to be all about fun and
laughter. I think it was a success. Well, except for Hallie. Homegirl had a few melt downs. I divided everyone into teams,
and we played fun games. The winning
team got a prize. The highlight was when
mom fell into the pool. She fell while
running during one of the games. She got
up and started running again without ever regaining her balance. She stumbled a few steps and landed right in
the baby pool.
Over/Under Game
There's a Hole in My Cup Game
Snack Toss Game
Hose Head Game
Frozen Shirt Game
We ran out of day light and didn't get to play all the games I had planned, but there's always next year. Nacole and mom won the competition.
I am sad that the weekend is over. Monday is here and it’s back to the grind.
