"Happy 4th!!"

This was truly one of the best weeks of the summer so far. First of all, I got to get off at one due to the holiday infringing on my early leave at 4 due to our "summer hours" we are doing. Second, we got to go to Seaworld the Saturday before! I haven't uploaded my camera pictures yet, but my iPhone pictures turned out pretty good:

Now that's a nice family shot. Man it was like 100 degrees out there. And despite its name, the 'sea' didn't keep us very cool.

This time, we all got under the water! Was so refreshing, I'm now wondering why I didn't do this last year! I had to push someone's kids out of the way, but...what can ya do sometimes, ya know?

On The way home we stopped by this Kolache place:

Mmm, so good. Like 30 different flavors. I think I ate one of Cari's though. It looked like peach but it turned out to be coconut!

Zach had to have TWO teeth pulled:

Ugh. Turns out he had to have them pulled so his other teeth can grow in normally. Poor kid. he took it like a champ though.

Then on July 3rd, we went to downtown Arlington to catch some fireworks:

The ol' iPhone takes some really good shots when it wants to!

Then on July 4 Cari and Zach went to see Ethan play baseball so Emmy and I went it alone to the Overall sweat-loge-a-thon we have every 4th of July. Dad even brought some entertainment:

Still can't believe Ed and me lost to him and Richard. I guess not playing ever can not make you as good as you think you are. On the way home I took Emmy on an impromptu tour of Duncanville since it's right on the way home. We stopped by the park I used to hang out at a lot. Emmy had an idea:

Was a nice afternoon. I should get back every now and then just to see what's chnaged and what's stayed the same. Was a really fun week. We were talking about how there were certain episodes of The Twilight Zone where someone would go back in time to stop certain things from happening, only to see them happen anyway. So glad we had 56 brave individuals who signed the Declaration Of Independence plus the soldiers who defended that decision.
