Summer Week 6

Saturday

We slept in very late Saturday morning because we were still recovering from our trip to Guatemala.  Then Carol and I went to get our mani's and pedi's at Safety Nails.  

That night we went to the 1st annual Arlington fireworks show.  A ton of people came out and the fireworks were awesome!

Sunday 

We went to the drive-in movies!  

Monday

Kevin and I decided to take the girls to the zoo.  The high was only 82 and it was July 1.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.  We saw the stingrays which was WAY over priced.

Then we saw the tigers, bears, and elephants.

We had to stop for an icee!  YUM!

After a break, we saw the birds and the bees exhibit.  Kevin was pretty excited about the bees.

Ava was pretty excited about the birds.

Kevin also enjoyed the birds.

Elia and I were kind of freaked out about the birds flying around our heads so we stuck together.

Then we went to the gift shop.  What a goof ball!

Then we came home and chilled out.  I think Miley missed Elia.

Tuesday

We took it easy on Tuesday.  That night we shot off a few fireworks with the neighbors.

Wednesday

We saw the movie Despicable Me 2.  It was a very cute movie, and the kids loved it.  Then we shot off more fireworks and ate watermelon.  

Thursday

We drove over to the Carters for a 4th of July cookout.  We brought Miley with us and she loved going for a ride.

Friday

Carol and I were sitting outside in the cove like we do almost every day, and the girls decided they wanted to give us a foot massage for one dollar and one penny.  HA!  We took them up on their offer.  I am not real sure why they were laying upside down but we didn't care.  It was wonderful and worth that dollar and a penny!

That night we took Kevin to El Mezcal for his 41st birthday!  The girls always play the crane machine and they almost always win.  Not sure how they do it.  I am starting to think they are sticking their arms up there and grabbing a stuffed animal.  

Saturday

We celebrated my Nana's 90th birthday today.  We had a party for her at her church and over 100 people showed up!  She sure has a lot of friends.

After the party we went to the mall to do some shopping.  The girls needed some new church clothes and shoes.  It was a sad moment for me because Elia now wears a size 6 shoe!  She no longer wear shoes in the kid's department.  I took this picture of Ava at the Gap being her usual sassy self!

Only 3 more weeks of summer left for teachers!  Time to really soak it up!
