2013/07/04 Thursday: Independence Day


Nick was actually off today, miracle of miracles.  We started at a village party that had pony rides and bounce houses.  Despite appearances, he enjoyed the pony ride.  Gigi would not go near it.  She's fearless in so many ways, but she is afraid of a lot of animals.

Speaking of her fearlessness, she climbed through this obstacle course like she was born for it.

We went to a barbecue at Nick's co-worker's place.  The kids loved playing with their cat.  The cat maybe loved it a little less.  Sort of comically, another co-worker (a doctor, in fact) brought their child who had this horrible rash with pustules around his mouth.  I asked, already knowing the answer, "Has he had a fever?" Of course he had, because it was clearly Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease.  So I don't know if this father was just in denial about the problem, or just wanted to bring the kid to a party despite the infectious disease.

We then went to a party at Abby's house, and she is an amazing hostess.  After so much food and treats, she then followed it up with cotton candy.  It was a great day and we were grateful that Nick was there to spend it with us.
