the fourth of july

While braving the plague, we drove to Lewiston to hang out with Jason's family for the Fourth of July. None of us could help but beg for ride after ride on Steve's new Harley...well...Londyn took her time getting used to the idea of driving fast down the road but was eventually converted to the dark side of motorcycle love.

Pais, Londyn and Grandma Carol played Hoopla until Lola decided to commando roll herself over and pull apart the game pieces. That and her shrieks eventually sent them all packing to get ready for the fireworks.
After the two of us being sick as dogs and relying on the hospitality of others, Lola finally found a time and place to nap. Oddly enough, it was during the fireworks. I still can not understand a girl who will immediately awaken from a coma if I dare enter her room but can sleep through sitting underneath fireworks booming above.

The next day the Grandparents decided to further spoil the grandkids and take them to the local roller coaster park...afterwards we all enjoyed a cool dip in the Layne's pool. It became frighteningly obvious how grown up and parental we had become when we decided to skip watching the Cruise on Main Street and hang with the kids in the pool.

Once again....Lola found her nap that had be eluding her all day.
