The 4th of July came early for us. The weather forecast for the weekend indicated that Friday was going to be the best pool day of the weekend, so I packed up Ben & Maggie, along with Ben's friend Tariq, and we headed over to the pool. We got there right as the pool opened only to find that we'd been beaten by a vast number of people that must have got there ages before the doors opened. The parking lot was full and people were streaming through the doors. It was the first time that we have ever had to spread out the towels on the ground as there were no chairs left (why don't I just buy one & take it with me?). The sun was hot, but the water was cold. Ben spent most of the afternoon getting in the water & lying in the sun-he really does not like cold water at all. Maggie & Tariq spent the whole time in the pool.
As soon as we got home from the pool, Jan & Julie came over and took Maggie & Ben to their house to camp out. Ben had missed the backyard campout with the scouts, so this was his make-up date. Jan & Julie have a camper trailer, which was lucky for them all as it rained all night. They had a great time though, they made hot dogs on the grill and s'mores. It sounds like there wasn't much sleeping done all night and the kids were very tired all the next day. Still, Sam & I had a chance to go out & eat on our own (Culpepper's chicken wings-yummy) and then we watched James Bond at home (Daniel Craig-yummy). It wasn't until the next day that we both realized we missed the opportunity to go and see Johnny Depp in Public Enemies-maybe next time....
