Fourth of July Weekend

This weekend at the beach was a lot of fun! We celebrated the 4th of July at our family condo with my friend Trippi and her baby Tobyn. We did NOT grill out like everyone else did, thankfully, since the grills were booked solid all night. We got to watch fireworks from the balcony, and James just loved it. He got scared, then would giggle and clap, and all of that fun stuff. I'm not sure if that was his first time seeing fireworks or not... ugh, my memory is failing me already.
The rest of the weekend was pretty relaxing, we did all of the normal things at the beach that people do, but had to custom tailor it to young ones that sleep a lot. Ha. That's fine with me, I'd rather take naps myself. Ha.
This morning after Daddy headed to work, yes, Daddy finally has a job, the kids and I and Tubby McTubberson (aka Kona) went for a long stroller ride/walk. We headed through the humidity over to my parent's house to check on things over there. We had a nice time, but seriously, I think I would have passed out from heat if we'd been outside for five more minutes. My parents are in Utah, and right now I'm thinking that they are getting it right. Who needs this kind of humidity?!?
We headed to the YMCA for swim lessons after our walk. The kids are doing so well it's crazy. I told Alisha about this blog so hopefully she'll see the video of James and laugh her head off just like I do every time I watch it. She's really enjoying James, he makes her laugh, as he tends to do with everyone he meets.
