Since fireworks were on the 3rd, we killed time by swimming longer than usual after dinner. The kids LOVE playing "Marco Polo" with Jason!
I may have started a new 4th of July tradition . . . PAZOOKIE (cookie dough in a pie plate, slighty underbaked with several scoops of ice cream and a spoon for each person)
We watched fireworks with the Wheelers in Slater.
We usually go to the Slater parade with my sister's family but they were on vacation. So, we went with some other friends who have two kids adopted from the same country as ours (you can't see their youngest in the picture).
The boys got to each make a rope.
And grind corn.
And lo and behold, we let each child ride a ride!
Zoe didn't want to ride by herself and wanted me to ride with her. This was very good for attachment and bonding but was NOT very good for my tendency to get motion sick.
Even after I napped that afternoon, I still felt sick!
Later in the afternoon, our good friends, Yong and Qing (pronounced Ching) stopped over. We had not seen their twin boys for eight months. Adorable!
We hung out and played.
And my mom and Ed came over for dinner.
Apart from the motion sickness, it was a great first 4th of July as a family of six!
