I had July 5 off of work also, so we had a looooooooong weekend together which was really fun. On July 4, we had three invites from people and we managed to get to each one. The first was swimming with the family of Nut Brown's new friend in their neighborhood pool. That was a good time, making some connections. Rosebud has a floatie that goes across her chest and she gets in and paddles around all by herself and is very pleased with her independence. Then we came home and had some quiet time, because the little kids from the family came back home with us and everybody played very happily upstairs. Nut Brown stayed over with his friend at his house for awhile. Then we swapped kids and went over to appointment number two, which was dinner with ward members whose kids are in a charter school that we're considering for our kids. Turns out they're homeschooling one of their teenagers so we had a good talk with them. They served us some of the worst food we've had at a dinner appointment but the conversation was useful. The last appointment was for fireworks, and a member of our local gaming group (yes! we have one already!) had invited us to come watch with them. We were crashing their usual fireworks party, so it was a little awkward, but Rose Pink had a bunch of fun, and really I guess the lats one was for her, so all good. The littles were pooped out well before the fireworks started, so next year definitely making different choices about fireworks watching. Apparently you can see them for our city from the end of our street, so I think we'll do that!
July 5, we went to McKinney Falls State Park to explore and discovered two things: 1) you can swim in the river there and 2) it's too hot to hike in July. Both useful information. We will be back with our swimsuits.
On Saturday 6 July, we stayed home. :) Cleaned the house in the morning and took the older kids to D&D at the library in the afternoon.
And then on Sunday, I STILL didn't have to go to work. It was a great weekend.
