Fun Things This Month:
- July 1st, we went and watched our neighbors put on fireworks. One of them is a firefighter, so we felt pretty safe and they loved it. Poor Logan missed it because he fell asleep and was super tired. Andrew and Seth had a blast. And afterwards, the other neighbor put up a big screen and projected "Zootopia". So me and Andrew and Seth at least got to finally finish the movie. It was a fun late night and even after putting on bug spray we all got eaten alive.
- The weekend of July 4th, we went to beach on Saturday. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun. We went to Atlantic Beach, there has been several shark attacks in the weeks preceding, but we went anyways, because Fort Macon is our favorite. The boys all love the beach and have fun making sand castles, running in the waves, on their boogie boards. We went to the aquarium after dragging the boys away from the beach. Noah was super excited to see the fish. He loves fish and had a great time! We stayed until it closed and then were super hungry so we stopped at Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner and the boys loved it of course. We had a great, busy, tiring day.
- July 4th we had a low key day with a cookout for lunch. In the evening, we headed over to a neighbor to watch the neighborhood fireworks. They always have an amazing display. This year, the rain looked like it was going to start, so they started a little earlier than usual. I bought the boys flag glow sticks, which they loved. But once the fireworks started, Noah got scared and I had to keep going in and out with him. It was a beautiful huge display. I have never seen anything in a neighborhood like that. Then, Katsu set off a whole bunch of fireworks while the kids played with sparklers. He got them back at his conference in Florida. I guess now he will be a firework man. It was really a great Independence Day.
- We saw Despicable Me 2 at the movie theater with friends. Lots of fun.
- Noah got a fever right after the movie, so only the older 3 boys went and played at a friend's house. They had a blast. When I went to pick them up, Noah was so sad he couldn't go in the pool.
- Play date on Thursday.
- Thursday was also Tanabata. We went to the garden store and bought a little bamboo plant and that evening we wrote all our wishes on pieces of paper and put them out on the bamboo plant. They were pretty cute. Logan wished for pizza (he got his wish on Friday). Seth wished to improve on video games. I don't remember all the rest.
- Next Tuesday, we started Logan's swim lessons. He only got in two lessons before he got his ear infection and we had to cancel the rest. He was doing really well. I guess next year ...
- We played in a friend's pool that afternoon. The boys loved it.
- Chick fil a cow appreciation day. We all loved dressing up as cows and had a yummy dinner.
- We had another play date.
- TRIP TO ASHEVILLE & GREAT SMOKY NATIONAL PARK
- As we got back, Seth had soccer camp from Monday to Thursday. It was SOOO hot, the poor kid was worn out and dehydrated every day we picked him up. I was very worn out just hauling the kids in and out and in and out of car seats. High nineties with high humidity. What a miserable week. But Seth really had a fun time.
- Lots of dr appts with ear infection and well visits.
- Kung Fu Panda 3 at the library. No M&Ms in the nose ... so we got to watch the whole movie. Horray!
- Katsu and I went on a date finally (!) and tried out a new Jamaican restaurant. There was no where to sit and we didn't want to just bring the food home, so we ended up to eating in the car and then went and got some frozen yogurt at a new place. It was fun and the boys loved having pizza, cookies, popcorn and watching a movie with the babysitters.
- Saturday was just a lazy day at home with finally some rain!
