Fourth of July - Condensed.

Unfortunately I did not have the pleasure of spending Fourth of July with both of my children. Phooey. No fair. Tator Tot did however have the pleasure of spending it with her grandparents,aunts, uncles, and lots of cousins. Perhaps even a dad. From what I understand she was nice and "wound" and had a blast! The way she tells it, it was obviously fabulous to see everyone and the fireworks were the best.

Regardless, I was bummed. Lil is just not really up to "Firework Age". She could care less and would rather sleep....or is it I would rather her sleep? Tomato. Tomato. (Wow, that phrase doesn't work when written...insert a long A sound for the second of course. Maybe a short A for the first if your so inclined.) In short, with Daddy's insistence, Debbie Nama made her weekly pilgrimage to our home (now located in Mesa!) to hang with the Lil while we went and braved the crowds of Tempe. Fun, we did have. Staying up late regardless, Lillie did too.(Yoda I must be as well.....)

Moral being we had a lot of making up to do. Luckily Daddy was off today and we had a day to do it in. The story of our day is here for your visual enjoyment. Enjoy it. We did.

Start with a few snow cones....

Don't forget to buy a new play pool to spend the remaining summer days in!

The end.
