This has been such a fun week. The week started with a holiday (Juneteenth). I spent the day catching up after our Father's Day weekend tournament and the kids all went off to play with their friends.
Tuesday was the big day everyone was waiting for, the last day of school! Well, truth be told they actually all had school on Wednesday but only for a couple of hours and no one wanted to go so I didn't make them. I personally felt like it was ridiculous we were in school at the end of June anyway. In any case, my kids wrapped up the year on Tuesday.
Wednesday, we met some friends (from both Carrigan's and Elsie's schools) at the park for a playdate. Merrick had to come along too, much to his extreme disappointment. The big excitement for the day came much later that day when Jeremy showed up and met us at the church BBQ with his parents in tow. All the kids were super excited and surprised to see them since we had kept their arrival a secret.
Since Wednesday it has been a nonstop party. Thursday we went to Dave and Buster's for some video game fun.
Friday, Jeremy took the day off work and we all went to Oak's Amusement Park. The older kids had a great time, as was expected. Elsie was the big surprise. She was a little slow to decide she was having a good time, but once she decided, she was all in. She would go on ride after ride and immediately call to go again. She loved one ride that Carrigan only decided this year that she liked. Turns out she is a little adrenalin junkie.
Merrick really liked the big roller coaster. He, Jeremy and I rode it a few times before Jeremy bowed out and left Merrick and I to keep going. In the end, he rode it 14 times and I rode it 12. I never get to be the fun parent so it was a nice change to be the fun one going on all the rides with Merrick.
Yesterday we had a party at the Ioapo's house to celebrate Kalani's graduation. They had a water bounce house and, of course, tons of food.
We still have two days until Grandpa and Lollie go home. Not sure how we can top what we have done so far, but we are definitely going to have a blast.
