Bobby started to get nervous, and Bobby is the type that lets anger show instead of fear. So when he noticed his face was starting to turn red (which didn't take very long), he went and traded with Aunt Ellen so she could have a turn with Chloe. Aunt Ellen has a special charisma about her. She is wonderful with Chloe. Shes actually wonderful with everyone. We took turns reading to Chloe, counting the dolphins and different schools of fish, we played the "I spy" game and did a pretty good job of keeping her distracted.

Surgery.
I started to talk to Chloe about it a little yesterday. Nothing to dramatic or scary. Just that the doctor is going to make her throat better so she can sleep at night and wont choke. She asked me how, I said "magic". Ha. Any ideas on how to tell her or how much she should know??

Summer Vacation Part III
- Never go to the beach before noon.
- Always have a back up parking plan.
- Bring lots of wet wash clothes / water bottles.
- NEVER bring home a live clam!!
It was about 1:30 when the girls decided that they were hungry enough to leave the water for just one minute (according to chloe). So we walked back to the van to add time to our meter and we decided that we should clean up all the sand before we headed down the beach for lunch. So Like stated aboue you deffinitly need water and washclothes to get the sand out of there diaper area! Luckily we had the water and we had to use baby wipes so we were okay. After we were cleaned up we walked over to our favorite little pizza place called Ray's. So yummy! After we ate we went to take the girls back to my grandmas so Bobby and I could go back to the beach and have some fun time of our own!
We got to grandmas and both girls were past out! Sun + Fun = NAPS! So Bobby laid the girls in bed and my grandma had the table set for us for lunch! We were already soooo full. I didn't have the heart to tell her that we had already eaten so Bobby and I forced our selves to eat a little bit! After we were done and the kitchen was cleaned I sat on the couch next to Bobby and with one glance we were both thinking the same thing. The beach will have to wait. We would have to go back next summer. We were just too tired and way to full!! So we lounged around and watched movies until the girls woke up. They were sad that we weren't going back to the beach. So instead we filled the pool with water and let them play outside. I went with Grandma to get stuff to make ice cream sundays!
We were sooo exhausted by the long day, and all the sun that I was just useless. I fell asleep on the couch and Bobby and my grandma chased after my children. Finally Bobby woke me up and took me to bed. We had to wake up at 5:30am the next morning.
The alarm went off, I hit the snuzz buttom. They alarm went off again at a quarter til. I jumped out of bed, woke up Bobby and the girls. We quietly finished packing and getting ready so that we wouldn't wake anyone in the house. We walked quietly out of the room and everyone was awake and waiting for us at the kitchen table with breakfast. So yummy!
Then it was time for goodbyes. I HATE goodbyes. Everyone crys. We never have enough time there. I wish that I could just stay with her in California forever!!
Love <3

Summer Vacation Part II
While Chloe watched cartoons Sophie was ready to explore! Sophie and I headed out on our own for a walk.
And then daddy came out and decided to explore with us!
After our walk Sophie was exhausted! So it was nap time for her. Just as she feel asleep Chloe woke up and decided that she was STARVING and needed to eat wunch (lunch).
After lunch she NEEDED a RED cupcake. This was the after effect!
After Lunch and cupcakes Chloe watched another episode of Dora and waited very patiently for Sophie to wake up so they could go swimming. While Chloe was waiting, my grandma and I decided that we would have a Ceveche cook off. I totally won. My grandma on the other hand chooses to believe that she won. But the facts are in, everyone ate mine and no one ate hers!! Sophie woke up and it was time for the pool, again.
While the children were swimming I owned the BBQ and grilled some delicious RIBS and Hot Dogs! Yumm!! While I was grilling my grandma made the best baked beans ever, pasta salad, and corn on the cob!! Best BBQ ever!
Notice my grandpa's plate, HUGE!
Chloe had 2 helpings of baked beans and pasta salad!
After dinner everyone needed to relax. Some of us more then others...
While everyone rested I cleaned up the dinner dishes and handed out cupcakes. So yummy! After the kitchen was cleaned I changed the girls into there PJ's and we waited for the sun to set so we could do fireworks!! The girls were a little anxious so we went and sat outside a little early!
Eventually the sun set and it was time for firworks! First were the SPARKLERS!
Bobby was in DANGER with the sparklers!
The noise from the fireworks scared the kids, so they climbed into the back of the van and stole glances of the fireworks, and were mesmerized by the bright flickering colors and loud noises!
After the noise started to settle down, the decided to come and sit with me on the lawn and watch the fireworks that were in the distance. Occasionally Sophie would get scared and hide her head in my chest. Overall it was an amazing 4th of July! We had a great time! Thanks Grandma!!
