birth certificate, beach, block party, and bacteria
Today was a jam packed day. Started off with going to get Kelsey's birth certificate, then headed off to the beach with Brenda. We decided to try Tunnel Park this time so we didn't have to pay to get in. We parked across the street and walked. I carried Kelsey in her carrier, fold up tent, cooler, diaper bag, and bag full of beach toys. Brenda had her hands full with holding Macey's hand as we crossed, her bags, fold up bouncey seat and two chairs. We never realized how steep and big the hill was to make it to the beach area, oh my. (I think next time Bren, we should just pay the $4 or go to the neighbors pool) We got settled, and everything went great for awhile. Kelsey a happy camper sitting in her tent in the bouncey seat watching everything going. Mace snacked and played with toys for awhile. Then the whinning began. She hated the sand on her hands, but wouldn't go NEAR the water to wash them off. So I ran back and forth to get small bucket fulls of water to pour onto her hands. We made it about an hour and a half and had to go. She wanted to go bye bye. We even had to say no to the swings because of too much whinning :( Good thing for naps, they make her a MUCH happier camper. The rest of the day she was a different child, much happier :) We ordered Sluggos pizza at dad's and then headed off to First Church's Block Party. My aunt Rachel was in charge of this one and it was themed Fiesta Party. Needless to say we had a good time, we got there when it started and shut the place down after 8:30pm. Mace had fun getting candy from the pinata, searching for money in sawdust, eating popcicles and doing the cookie walk. We're now home, both girls went to bed super late (9:30 and 10pm) and we now have a guy here trying to treat our water for bacteria. We had to get it tested to sell the house and we already bleached out the well and killed our grass from it and we STILL had bacteria so we now have a specialist here trying to get rid of it for us now. Jason just told me the water is now shut off so his chemicals can do their thing. Let's hope this works! Who knows how long we've been taking in bacteria, sorry girls. Hope you turn out okay :) Jason just told me he hasn't even eaten dinner all night and it's 10:30pm now. I better go help him find something. I'll post recent pictures tomorrow sometime.

great blog Jen, especially after such a long day. I wonder what Macey is afraid of about the water/sand....I agree, pay the 4 bucks next time instead of hauling all that stuff across the street.
What a drag about the bacteria...I hope that issue gets fixed soon. I will be waiting for the pictures you post soon
PS....any word on the offer you put in on the Colon house?
Fun seeing you at the Fiesta, the girls were adorable as usual. I remember those days of going to the beach with all that stuff. In one way its easier if they are a little afaid of the water. I remember just being a wreck trying to keep track of all the boys when they were playing in the water.
Oh my gosh, so do I! Rachel, I don't know how you did it with the 4 boys, I was a wreck with just keeping track of the 2 girls! Jen - great seeing you and girls last night - hope the water situation works out soon!
