Don't you just love those long holiday weekends where you cram so much fun and excitement into every minute you feel like you could sit at home for the next year and still enjoy the highs of those perfect few days? Me too!
Friday Turbo & I got a call from his BFF to go out on their pontoon boat with a couple of friends to see the sights of the Chain (Aww sh*t...). We went out at dusk (...on a boat...), spent the next few hours bar hopping (...on a boat...) and dancing (...everybody look at me...), and finally made it home just before 3 am (...cause we're sailing on a boat...). Our only disappointment was we stayed out too late to make it to Taco Bell.
Saturday we headed to Wisconsin for a grad party for a friend of Turbo's family. We had a blast swimming and hanging out all afternoon. Of course, seeing the grad made me all sad in a sentimental mommy sort of way...I met Melissa when she was a sweet little 6 year old, to see her as a beautiful high school grad talking about college in the fall made me want to freeze my own kids in time.
Sunday we spent the way we've spent the 4th for the last several years, grilling and playing with our friends. Lucy and I were up early making awesome smiley face cookies and cheesecake for the evening BBQ. Then, while she stayed home to nap, Rex & I went to a big parade with all of our friends (Turbo & Nate opted to stay with Lucy and take in the Nathan's hot dog eating contest on tv). Later in the afternoon we headed to the party and played and ate until everyone was brimming with excitement over the upcoming fireworks. We took in all of the booms and sparkles with tons of 'ooohhs' and 'aaahhs' and a whole lot of Lucy saying 'LOOK!' (she was really diggin' her first trip to see fireworks!). It was truly a spectacular day!
Monday we took it easy. Turbo & the kids stayed home and relaxed all afternoon, while I snuck out to do some relaxing of my own...shopping and lunch with a friend.
Really, could the weekend have been any better?
(Um, no...the answer is definitely no.)
