4th of July Weekend

We had a great LONG weekend!  I took Sat. thru Tues. off, a little mini vaca.  We didn't really have anything planned we just wanted to have a relaxing weekend and be open to do whatever.  That doesn't happen to often, especially in the summer.  So Sat. we went swimming all day, Arlee loves, loves, loves the pool and she has quite a good tan going on.  Sunday, we headed to Pittsburg.  They have all kinds of stuff going on at the park there mainly for kids.  They have an area at the park called Kiddie Land with mini carnival rides.  Well Arlee acted all excited to ride but after she got on the rides she would start crying about half way through, and they would stop the ride so she could get off.  She tried to ride 3 rides and the same thing so we said no more.  She did like the train ride though, I think b/c we could ride it with her, the other rides she rode by herself.  I have to add how freakin HOT it was!!  After all that Wayco entered the hot dog eating contest and got 2nd place, he ate 10 dogs, the winner ate 12.  I know sounds gross, and yes it was!  They make a big deal about it, they have kids, teenagers, and adults do this.  I think I counted 18 adults eating dogs.  They have 7 mins to mow down as many hot dogs as they can.  While that was taking place Arlee spotted the pony rides and was waiting patiently as an almost 2 yr old could.  When Wayco was done thats what we headed for.  Arlee loved her pony ride, she didn't wanna get off the dang thing.  After that we headed home.  Monday we swam again, my mom came with us so Arlee was excited to show off her swimming skills.  We stayed up til 11 watching the fireworks at Santa Fe.  I was impressed for no nap Arlee did so good!  She was tired though.  But she loved the night works, she would say "sparkle, sparkle"  it was cute.  Tuesday more swimming with Aunt Angie. 
Arlee's party is this coming weekend so i'm working on things this week for it.  Oh, and Arlee's getting her molars in her last set the bottoms ones are pretty much in now the top ones are coming, looks painful.  Poor thing, she has a bad time with teeth especially in the night.  Not for long I hope!
