4th of July

This last weekend for the 4th we went with my parents and aunt/uncle to the beach. The first night, like Bend, was horrible for Joya to fall asleep. Which inturn makes the next day so long and not really fun for anyone. That day was Saturday the 4th. and we got some good outlet shopping in, and some fun beach time in, and Joya fell asleep on the way to the outlet mall so Tim stayed in the car with her and I took Timmy shopping with me. She was asleep for a good 30 min, and then she woke up and they came in to join me. We shopped quick and then went home for lunch. We ate lunch and Joya tried going down for a nap and I did too, I fell asleep several times and was woke up several times by little Miss Mae waking me up. Anyway she didn't get a nap so by the time fireworks came she was a handful! We went to watch them on the beach and we had taken our chairs and some sand toys for Joya down earlier that day to reserve our seats. Its a good thing we did because by the time we got there at 9 the beach was packed. We stayed there until dark and then came home because we could not see any of the fireworks, it was so foggy. It was fun to watch other kids set off their fireworks both Timmy and Joya were just mesmerized by the lights of the fireworks. It was fun and a bust at the same time. We brought Joya home and washed her hands and feet and put her to bed. She fell asleep before we even finished praying! Timmy was up for just a little bit longer and then we all got a good night sleep! It was well needed. We went home the next day and after nap time on that day we all went for a nice long bike ride with Tia and our family and ended at the pool. We came home and BBQed and went to bed...another excellent night of sleep. Monday both kids were sick and we stayed home all day and rested. I caught up on laundry and cleaning!!
The last couple of weekends have been fun, but the first night is brutal with Joya not sleeping. I hope she gets better at sleeping in motel rooms!
