Fourth of July
Our cousins came to visit us before we move half way around the world and so we celebrated the 4th of July with them. It was great to watch the kids all play together. The boys all got along together well and I think some fun memories were made. On Monday we went to the beach; on Tuesday we went swimming and ate dinner at Grandma Deanna's and had the boys spend the night; on Wednesday we met up for lunch, played, and ate dinner at Grandpa Kurt's; and on Thursday we had a wonderful lunch at Grandma Deanna's and played with more cousins from Grandpa Dave's family and swam and watch fireworks at Hag's house. Good times.
Now its Saturday and tonight our cousins from Utah come to visit. We are going to spend some time next week at the beach and we are VERY excited. We are planning on driving to Seaside to spend about 3 days at the beach. Yippeeee! We LOVE the beach and the beach with cousins is even better.
Of course all these visits have doctor appointments sprinkled through them. I had to visit the doctor to get some blood work done. The kids had to visit the doctor for general check-ups, TB skin tests, and blood draws. I had to get some immunizations at a travel pharmacy. I got Tdap, Hepatitis A & B (cuz back in the old days we didn't get those immunizations when we were little), and Japanese Encephalitis. The Tdap hurt and still does. Plus I got muscle aches from it. No wonder little ones are so grumpy after shots. I have to go back for more Hep A & B and Japanese Encephalitis. Not too thrilled about that. But hopefully all the medical clearances will go through and we can get it taken care of.
