July 4th Fun and a Head Injury
We celebrated the Fourth of July with our usual calendar of events, kicking it off with Wedgewood's big party on Saturday night. The kids had a blast running around with their friends, playing on the bouncy houses, ordering way too many drinks and snacks, dancing and watching fireworks. It's always a really nice event and it's something we look forward to each summer.
From there, the plan was to continue the fun at the pool party on the 4th of July but we had an incident the night before at the Shear's pool that put a halt to that. The kids were doing backflips in the pool and Mairin cut it too close resulting in a gash at the top of her head and a trip to the ER. Thankfully she did not need stitches. They glued it up and instructed us to keep her out of the pool of the next 7-10 days. So no pool party for the Holicks.
Plan B was equally fun. We met the Ivans at the zoo for a couple hours of fun with Finley and then headed home where the kids found friends to play with and we snuck in a trip for ice cream after lunch. It wasn't our usual way to celebrate but it was still a good, relaxing day and we can revisit the pool party next year. Mairin is healing nicely and has been a big trooper the entire time.
