This year, we went to two Fourth of July parties. One at The August's and a block party at The Regul's. Early in the day we headed over to Mike, Jon, and Amy's for a bit of BBQ, swimming, and homemade carrot cake cupcakes which were oh-so-yummy! We had a great time hanging out with them. We had them practically to ourselves until it was time for us to leave which was about 2pm, then a few other guests came over.
We headed home and I washed the chlorine out of my newly colored hair, grabbed some guac that Hubs made, put Moses in the car, and we headed down to Inglewood for the rest of the day. When we arrived we found Danielle's brother Joe Bosco in the kitchen making a 7-layer cake which seemed out of the ordinary for Joe. We quickly ran into Mike Montez and his fiancé, Allison, who were in town from Portland. Jung of course, was there as part of the LA crew and then some of Toby's friends had driven down to partake in the block party fun. The only person not there was Toby, who was supposed to fly in from Georgia but his plane was delayed. He got there just as we were leaving.
Penny had fun bouncing in a bounce house, meeting a boa snake (yes, a guy brought his pet snake to the party), eating snow cones, gobbling down salty popcorn, and playing with neighborhood kids. She loved eating watermelon wedges and taking down the Bosco Cake, and of course, hanging out with her best pal, Danielle. When it came time for fireworks, Penny went bonkers at at the different displays which seemed to surround us. I don't think I've ever experienced anything quite like it before in my life! Fireworks were simply everywhere and they last for two hours. Moses did not like it. Poor guy was really scared. Both mom and dad sat with him until we left the Regul's. Poor Mo. Overall, it was a fun holiday!
