For the fourth of July this year we went with some friends of ours to Seaside. It was a lot of fun! We got to go to a fourth of July parade, watch fireworks out over the ocean, and bike the promenade. Gabby hasn't got to ride her bike that much do to the huge amount of rain we have gotten this year. I was so surprised how much she has improved. It won't be long now before we have a two-wheeler in our midst. She must have ridden for hours. The promenade had bumper cars and tilt-a-whirl, which were fun. Mostly it was just a perfect relaxing weekend to celebrate being americans. Something that unfortunately too many of us forget to do. After the kids went to bed the adults had agrand old time playing games. Wow, does domino games get exciting when you throw in a little booze :) Talk about a lot of commotion, whooping and hollering. I would have won too, if my husband hadn't thrown me under the bus. Maybe next year we can do it again, it was sure a blast!
