This afternoon, Avery and I made a quick stop at the bank. They were kind enough to give her two lollipops!
Wes decided to treat us to a nice dinner at Bonefish tonight with the gift cards he received from All-Stars. It was deee-lish too!
Then we walked over to the bookstore and eventually headed over to Academy to check out their bike selection. Yep, Wes has decided to join us in our bike riding adventures!
After checking out all the "manly" rides there, Wes decided to look around at some other stores tomorrow.
I was beyond tired tonight.
Wes worked lated. Avery and I watched some TV in her bed. I dozed off, woke up, and went to my bed.
Sure hoping 10 1/2 hours of sleep makes me feel better! This is Wes's birthday weekend and I can't be grumpy!
Look what I noticed this afternoon.
And Wes says I never see these type of things :)
Oh, not only was it noticed but I also removed it them.
I'm just a little bit late, but I finally got "most" of the paint from All-Stars off my windows tonight.
Looks like I still have some scrubbing to do. Maybe by Halloween...
Hey, better late than never, right?
Is it really time to go home?
We got up this morning, cleaned, and let Avery swim in the pool for about an hour before heading out around 2:00 this afternoon.
I finally managed to get a picture (actually, Wes got the picture as I was driving by) of this awesome shop that we passed several times. I planned to stop and let Avery take her picture beside the van because she loved it so much, but traffic was WAY too heavy today to even consider that option!
Then, I noticed this license plate on the van in front of us.
How cool is that? Guess Avery is out of luck!
Isn't it great when your 9 year old rolls out of bed and asks, "does it always feel this bad when you drink?"
"Yes Avery, but it usually feels worse. At least you aren't throwing up," is my response.
Seriously, NOT a conversation I expected to be having at the ripe, young age of NINE!
After getting past the fact that my sweet baby never wants to drink again, Wes headed out to meet Jeff Stevenson for a round of golf. All the rest of us packed up and headed to the outlets for some retail therapy. We did some damage too!
We even managed to take a break long enough to grab lunch at Lambert's - "home of the throwed rolls" in exactly those words. It was our (the Golden girls) first time and WOW, what an amazing meal!!!
Take a look at these drinks and the HUGE rolls compared to the mugs! Yep, they toss those suckers across the restaurant at you and you better be ready to catch because they will take you out otherwise!
They were deeee-lish too!
We all headed out for putt putt golf and the BIG go cart track later in the evening.
We didn't play the full 18 holes since we needed to head over to the go cart track and make sure we had time to grab dinner and make it back to the beach in time for the fireworks show.
What a wonderful day and night!
Can't believe I didn't include any pictures of the beach yesterday! The water is not clean at all. Full of oil which is washing up on the beach and leaving tar balls and residue. These pictures are straight out of the camera with no editing at all.
Tractors come by every hour or so to plow it up, but it's still there under the surface. Words can't even begin to describe how sickened and angry I am to actually see our beaches look like this. It was one thing to read about it, watch the news, but to actually witness it with your own eyes...the white sandy beaches, crystal blue waters that you grew up with. They are gone and for what? The greed of a company that has already made unimaginable amounts of money from consumers? I go back and forth between anger and queasiness...it's just not right!
Since the beach is out of the question (there are signs that specifically say "do not get in the water due to chemicals treating the oil per the EMA") we decided to head to the water park for the day.
We arrived right as Waterville U.S.A. opened and planned to make a day of it. The girls had a blast in the wave pool.
Josie, Avery, and Wes all tried the Flowrider, a simulated surfing thing. Wes actually did pretty good until he tried to do a trick and wiped out.
We headed over and rode go carts and the roller coaster (MANY times).
Wes and Seb headed back to the condo leaving the girls to finish playing. We did a few more water slides, the lazy river, and the wave pool before calling it a day.
After getting back to the condo, we all showered and got ready for dinner.
Before heading out, look what we noticed right off the balcony.
Isn't is amazing how close they were? You could seriously reach out and touch them!
While waiting for dinner, the moms each ordered a daiquiri and the girls each got virgin drinks.
Or so we thought. Pretty sure the order got mixed up and Avery and Josie had alcohol in their drinks.
Why?
Well, let's review their symptoms:
*within 30 minutes of drinking, both had the hiccups
*Avery immediately had a headache and thought she was going to puke all night
*Josie was silly and giddy - wanted another drink RIGHT then
*Avery lost all color in her face
*Josie couldn't hold on to anything - dropped something that was placed right in her hands
Yep, once again it has been verified...we are A-MA-ZING parents!
