Before there were stitches...

Okay, so I got the order of my posts all mixed up. The not-so-good-trip-to-the-ER weekend finale preceded our July 4th festivities...at least on my blog. And the events of July 4th don't even show up in the right order! Ack! So please pardon the backwardness. Up until the stitches, we really did have a fun weekend!

Although I have zero--zip, nada, zilch--pictures of it, Friday we were overcome by temporary insanity and decided to head to the beach! Insane because every other person and his dog was also trying to drive to the beach! And um, yes, traffic was a problem. BUT, when we finally did get there, the sun came out, the wind stayed at bay, and we had a super fun afternoon relaxing and playing in the sand. And then, when it was time for dinner, don't ask me how or why, but there was no wait at Kyllo's--our favorite Lincoln City restaurant!!! So all in all, despite the long drive to get there, it ended up being a great day.

Saturday, the 4th, was another hot day here in Mac. That meant it was another perfect day for the slip 'n slide! First, we went over to the neighbors' to try out their self-named "white trash" version (a.k.a. a bunch of odds and ends of linoleum pieced together to make one long "slide"). Douse it with the hose and...viola! Definitely slippery when wet and a lot of fun! Then later in the day our little friends Morgan and Nathan came over for some more watery fun on the real deal. Molly is still deciding if she likes it or not. The other 3 kids were sold a long time ago!





You can't really tell, but she is sporting a "I'm not so sure about this!" face.



I kinda sorta like this girl. A lot!
