It has 6 seats (3 rows) and LOTS of room! I can listen to my iPod in it, and the girls have LOTS of room too. It's fabulous. And of course it drives like a dream. It is a large car and we had to rearrange the entire garage so we could fit it in, but hey, it's in! I have named him Guzmen (pronounced Gooz-men). I can finally get Kasey's car seat in without having to tilt her all over the place to get her through the door!
No, we didn't trade anything in, so now we have 4 cars/vehicles and 2 motorcycles. So, we are doing our best to sell some of the vehicles off. The Wrangler may finally be leaving our driveway to move on to greener pastures, or 4 wheeling roads...Hubby got home from his 2 week trip late Thursday night. Friday morning we packed up the girls and headed to the zoo. Courtney has been asking to go for quite some time. We got out of the house a little later than normal, and by the time we got to the zoo (about 9:45am) we already had to park in the second lot! That is pretty unusual.
I heard that later on that day they actually CLOSED the zoo to more visitors! I have never heard of them doing that! My friend's sister tried to go in the afternoon, and they denied her entrance because they were too full! Crazy!
That afternoon after naps is when we took the girls to Nana and Papa's house and we went to test drive the Ford Flex. It turned into us purchasing it, which of course is never a short process. So, it was a late night for all of us. I was really hoping Courtney would sleep in the next morning, but no such luck. We were going to go to the parade in Monument, but we decided we were all too wiped out to try to go and be in a crowd of 10,000+ people for a few hours. So, we spent the morning at home. This allowed me to get some things done that I haven't been able to do for the past few weeks.
Courtney crashed at nap time pretty fast. And then we actually had to wake her up 3 hours later! We try very hard to keep her on a pretty strict nap schedule which includes not letting her sleep past 4pm. So, at 4pm I went and woke her up, which also worked well, as it was time to head over to the Z's house for a 4th of July BBQ.
We smoked 2 turkey breasts for the festivities, and brought a fruit salad. The girls all had fun together, and as dusk was approaching people started to set off their own personal fireworks around the Z's house. Their house sits in such a way that we had a good view of little fireworks people were setting off (even though they are illegal within city limits). The three girls sat in kitchen chairs lined up along the sliding glass door having a ball watching them. The adults were cracking up listening to them and their comments. We finally told them they were over about 9:30pm and we packed up and headed for home.
Once we got home we put on the Boston show and let Courtney watch the fireworks on TV. She was loving it! She was so excited every time she saw one she thought was pink. Fireworks have been all she has talked about for the last 24 hours. She told us this morning that she wants to see more tonight. It's hard for a 2 year old to understand that fireworks only happen on one night once a year! She should have a blast next year!
It just hit me the other night that in about 2 months she will be 3 years old! How did that happen? How did she grow up so fast? She told me the other day that I am so smart. She is such a riot!
Kasey is growing like a weed too! Hubby put her hair in a mowhawk again after her bath tonight. We can tell when he does this that her hair is really getting long! She is so smiley! She loves to be talked to and be smiled at. It's just so cute!
Well, I still am trying to catch up on things I wasn't able to get done the last 2 weeks. I guess I better go and work on those while I can! I hope all of you had a fabulous 4th!
