4th of July







4th of July was fun. We went to a Bar B Q at the clubhouse and they had Karokee. Tori wanted to enter and sing. Tori and Zoe entered the contest and sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. The crowd joined in and nick named the girls the "Twinkle Sisters" Then Daddy and the girls had some fun with fireworks in the back yard. Zach fell asleep outside in the rocking chair at 9 pm. The next day we took the kids to the Aquarium. That night at the pool at the club house we attended our first "Dive -in Movie" It started at 8 pm and they showed some old cartoons on a big projector screen and everyone swam and floated around in the pool and watched. It was fun. Zachie was all over the pool in his floaties. He loves to jump in and swim away. Then on Sunday my friend Mona came to watch the kids at 4 pm and James and I went to go see Chris Rock who was in New Orleans at the Super dome. He was awesome. He did a one hour new act. It was great. We even came back home to find no children in our bed. Courteousy of Mona, she had put everyone in their own bed and all were fast asleep. So Oreo and Moo Moo lived it up and it was the good old days with just Oreo and the cats in our bed. It was like floating on the sea, there was so much room. But by 2 am Zoe bear had realized where she was and joined us. Oreo was booted back off onto the floor, and she groaned about it. I waited for Zach to appear, but he was content in his sports bed. By morning the party was over and James marched on to summer camp, and we are hanging out. The pool is closed on Mondays,so the kids play upstairs and terrorize the animals. I know the animals enjoy Tuesday- Sundays. I bet they can't wait for us all to return to work and school in August. So far this summer, Tori learned to ride her bike without training wheels, Zoe can swing by herself now, and Zach can make it across the Monkey bars...himself...scary, but true. I do spot him, in case... So it was a good 4th of July.
