I'm So Anal, That This Is Killin' Me...


...But I have got to forget the last two days and move on....If I stop and blog about the last two days, I'll never catch up to today....so I'm sorry but all you get is TODAY- July 4th!
(I've had numerous problems the last couple of days trying to get on the internet and even once on, to load pictures....truly a nightmare! Robb- THANK YOU for all your help!)
So, Happy 4th of July Everyone!

We are staying the next two weeks in my parents motor home in Blackwell Island RV Park and despite having a few problems with living in the motor home, are really enjoying it! Space is an issue, but as long as the family just does what I tell them, we are fine. (You know like, "Hey- please put your shoes away." or "Your pj's don't belong there Cope."....you get the idea.

Today was wonderful! We enjoyed the BEST parade ever in Coeur d'Alene and here are some pics to prove it!
















Well, as it is now 12:28am, and I am still waiting for pics to upload....I think I may call it a day. :( Im so sorry this internet thing is pooping out!

We had a wonderful lunch at MoonTime (my favorite place to eat because they have the most delicious curry cashews!) and then over to Erin's house for a lot of playtime, conversation and ROBB'S FAMOUS WINGS! He makes the best wings ever! Ill try again tomorrow morning to see if I can upload more pics! Until then- Night Night!

Garlic Turkey Burgers and Homemade Chunky Potato Salad...

Just to name a few of the entrees we feasted on for the 4th of July!

My sister made an artichoke hummus (so yummy) and one of those fancy veggies on skewers cut into shapes of stars and firepoppers, and for the finale- a delicious "Freedom Cake" complete with sparklers on top! (How she has time to do this with three little ones I'll never know)
Peek at first pic- the veggie 'flowers' are ont he table.




Sandcastles turned into mudpies....




















Swimming and hoops were popular...













Me and my incredible sister Erin












Sneak-attack of getting Mom in the picture too















the beautiful moon that came out that night
















The very yummy and gone-in-seconds 'Freedom Cake' my sister made













And this is Lex. No party or gathering of any kind is complete without Lex and his guitar. He makes everything seem so much better as he strums his guitar and sings along. He is the icing on any cake!

It was a wonderful day and our Hostess Melissa was just fabulous! Thank you Melissa!
