Fourth of July weekend

Nick and Brenna got invited to Makayla’s house for the holiday festivities. They went over on Saturday afternoon armed with bathing suits, towels, shorts and p.j’s, socks and shoes. Michaela forgot to pack shirts for both of them (Oops!). Not that they really needed them as they were living in their bathing suits…..
They started the weekend with a picnic (BBQ)/birthday party and swimming at Makayla’s grandparents house in Sweetwater. They finished the night with fireworks and got back very late, around 12:30. No one got to sleep before 2:30am Sunday! They were up and at it again on Sunday about 8am! Both ate a great breakfast of pancakes, waffles, eggs and bacon.
Sunday was partially spent at Makayla’s house with the trampoline and swing set. The girls were running all over. Nick was playing Game Cube with Michael, Makayla’s dad. Later on Sunday, they went over to Makayla’s uncles’ house for more swimming, paddle boat rides, and a cookout.
When Michaela went to pick them up Sunday evening, they were tired, dirty and grinning from ear to ear. Neither one wanted to come home…… They must have been good and very well behaved as the invitation to come over again was extended to both and Makayla asked if Michaela could bring Nick over the next time Brenna came!
You might be asking what Paul and Michaela were doing with no kids for two days…..Well, we went out to eat at Calhoun’s. We also went to the pet store to get a nursery for the baby fish that we noticed swimming in the tank. We think we have baby angel fish. Michaela decided that the kids needed to have hermit crabs as pets and got one for each. After the pet store we went to Border’s and picked up a few books. It was a nice night. Sunday was spent relaxing and watching a couple of movies after cutting the lawn.
On the actual 4th of July, Michaela had to baby-sit and it was just a day at home for the family with a couple of additions.
