Happy 4th of July

 We had a busy weekend.  It started out Saturday with swimming lessons at the YMCA.  Then we went furniture shopping for bunk beds.  We also ate lunch at Road House then did more furniture shopping and then stopped to get the girls some flags for the 4th.
 Sunday we went to Fletcher Park opening.  They had a Dora bounce house and a big slide.  They also opened up their new playground.
 The girls bounced and slide until they were so tired they were falling when they tried to climb the mountain.
 Leeza got slide rash on her back as her shirt came up on her last trip down and she got a friction burn on her back.  It was hot too- in the 90s.
 Sasha's feet stuck on the slide on her last trip down and flipped over forward half way down and did a face plant on the bottom of the slide.  The guy watching the slide started to panic, but then Sasha got up laughing like she always does.  She is one tough little cookie.
 Later that night, we got ready to go to the fireworks.  There are my little americans all dressed up in red, white and blue.  They loved the flags and paraded around the house for a long time with their flags.
 We parked at the library and played around there for a while.  I thought the fireworks would be at 9, but they were at 9:30.
 The girls didn't seem to care and had a good time running around.
 Someone was shooting off small fireworks.  the girls thought these were the fireworks and loved them.
 Sasha loved to see the small fireworks go off.
 When the real fireworks started, Sasha was not happy.  They were loud and she didn't like that.  We were about a mile form the fireworks.  I'm glad we didn't go closer.
 Leeza had layed down in my lap right before the fireworks started.  She slept through most of them and Sasha huddled on the other side of my lap trying to block the noise.  They said they liked the fireworks, but I'm not so sure.
We made it back to the car just in time for Sahsa to pass out.  It was about 10pm which is way past their bedtime.  Leeza decided she had to go pee and cried the whole way home that she was going to wet her pants.  She never did and made it home to the potty.  There were lots of tears when I told them they had to go right to bed, but everyone was asleep in less than 5 mintues.
