July 4th

Fireworks in Mt Zion are on the 3rd this year.  We started our day with the social worker coming for the 1 year post placement visit(It takes a while to get the reports processed so you have to do it very early).  We went out to Ruby Tuesday for dinner then went over to a friends house for a visit.  We got home around 7pm.  The fireworks aren't until dark(9:30 ish) so I let the girls stay up late.  About 8:30, they started slowing down, but were still awake when the fireworks started.  Sasha fell asleep about half way through.  I was afraid they might be scared, but they seemed to know what they were and were talking about booms when I was explaining the fireworks ahead of time.  I think they talked about them in daycare.  I woke Sasha up for the finale.  Leeza was much more interested in watching the light from a plane that was circling watching the fireworks.  You can see the fireworks really well from our front door so we sat in air conditioning with no bugs to watch them.    The girls went to bed at 10 pm so I was hoping they would sleep in- does 6:45 count?  Only 15 minutes later than normal!  Then they were so wound up today that no one wanted to nap- except me.
This was Friday morning.  They have their red white and blue one-Ready for their first 4th of July!


Today we went to the zoo.  We went at 9:30 trying to beat the heat, but it was already hot.  We stopped at the playground before going in.  They of course have to go down the biggest slides!
They always look so little going up the stairs to the slides.


They go up the stairs and down the slide and then run back to the stairs.  Always in motion.


This is Sasha's big girl pose.  She isn't my little baby anymore or even my little toddler.  After the playground, we went inside the zoo and rode the train and the carousel.  We didn't stay too long as it was HOT!
