That morning we took the girls down to walk around. It was so hot and luckily they aren't quite old enough to really want to go on the rides and bounce houses. We did take them on their first pony ride. They love horses and so were pretty excited just to see the ponies. Shane put Aria on it and she went right on. Siena was a little nervous so we let Aria go around once and then put her right behind Aria and after a couple of laps, they were in heaven, smiling ear to ear, pointing to the horse. They did really well and held on and ended up loving the ride. We also went in all the tents that had snakes, lizards, etc. and they even got to pet a huge turtle walking around.
That afternoon Shane took our car down and parked it fairly close to the park and then jogged home (it was only 102 degrees that day!) Then after dinner we strolled the girls down to the park and had a great evening hanging out on the grass. Jennifer and her kids joined us as well so it was a fun night. The girls did great and although they started getting a little irritable about 30 mins before the fireworks started we got out our phones that entertained them long enough to stay awake the whole time. They liked the fireworks but I think were pretty tired by then. I enjoyed the fireworks since I didn't see any on the 4th of July.
The next day I was sooo tired and my body was exhausted. I guess walking a mile in the heat and sitting on grass entertaining 2 little girls when 8 1/2 months pregnant isn't something the body takes all that well. We all took a really long nap that afternoon after church and we're as good as new again and back on schedule.
