Fourth of July 2011

Wow..what a long and great weekend. We were down to only 2 kids, the boys, all weekend since Addie was on a mini vacation in Colorado, and it really did make a difference. Saturday was a low key day with a little swimming, cleaning and errands. Saturday night we had some friends over and Alex got hang out with Dan and Rob playing some golf on the wii.
Sunday we decided to take Zach and Alex to see Rango. It was Zach's first trip to the movie theater so we did not know how it would turn out. We invited Aaron, Sarah and Elle to come with and I have to say the kids did really well. They seemed to really like the movie and everyone sat really well during it which was awesome. After the movie we all went back to our house to hang out and let the kids play a little and have a dance party. By 10 pm I think we were all exhausted! Yes we are that old!
On Monday, aka my half birthday, it was another early morning and busy day. I was off by 8:15am to head over and drop some baby stuff off for Courtney. Then out shopping with Sarah to get all the goodies for fireworks later. We gave Zach a short nap and then headed to Aaron and Sarah's for so swimming and bbqing. My boys love the water. They are very much like their mom in the fact that they could swim for hours. It was Alex's first time being allowed to jump into the deep end(9ft) and he did really well. After a couple cannonballs he figured out how to dive in which was awesome. ( Once again just like his mom) After some fun swimming and sun we headed in to grill and eat before the fireworks.
Now we always do fireworks at TY Warner in Westmont. We park by the highschool and it works out perfect because there is a park right there for the kids to play at before the fireworks start. We also had glow sticks ( best 3 dollars ever spent)and sparklers!The boys had a blast running around, playing, seeing everyone and once the fireworks start they were happy. I think Alex was more interested in the glow sticks but Zach seemed to really like the fireworks.
All in all it was a great weekend and it was nice to spend time with just the boys. But it was also great to see Addie last night when she got home and I swear she grow a ft while she was gone!
