4th of July

Well, the first problem with waiting a month to post about an event is that my memory just doesn't work that well. Sorry... I'll try to remember the funny stuff, I do remember laughing at lots of hilarious comments that come out of Anthony's mouth... but that's daily, so I have a hard time keeping track. I do add to the "Anthony's Quotes" on the right though...
Anyway... Our 4th of July went something like this: We (Mitch, Anthony, and Me) took a long (5 minute drive) trip to The Boca Raton Resort & Club
and were checked in by 11am. We met a big group of other couples and kids there (specifically Michael, Robin, Sam & Jesse). Everyone hung out at the pool, kid fountain, and craft projects all day. Lisa and Kennedy came over to hang out with us for a while. After we decided that Anthony was too wound up and having too much fun to be mean and make him nap, he almost fell asleep IN the pool with an ice cream bar in hand! It was so funny, I got him cleaned up, he crawled on Mitch and went to sleep in seconds!
So we propped him in shade and let him be while we continued to soak up the sun and fun. That night everyone met in one of the (huge) rooms for a Chinese food dinner. Due to rain, we eventually ended up watching the fireworks from the room as well. The kids had a great time running wild and playing with glow sticks and bracelets. We could see 3 sets of firework shows from their 24th floor room. We hung out the next day too. Anthony painted a ceramic space ship and we saw (well, Mitch didn't see because he was snoring) a very cool animal show ( with too many pictures to post!), had lunch, ice cream and went home... EXHAUSTED!!
NICE HEART CHEEKS!!!

Now as if that wasn't enough activity for one weekend, we got up the next day (Sunday) and spent about 5 minutes outside before we decided we couldn't take one more day of outdoor heat so we needed an indoor activity. So we jumped in the car, picked up subs and went to Ft. Lauderdale to play at the childrens museum and have a boat ride at Riverfront on Los Olas. It was very nice! Here a few of those pictures:


And that pretty much sums it up.... Watch for the next post about Mitch's birthday!
