The Fourth

What a great weekend with my girls. It was the Fourth of July this past weekend and I was able to leave work a little early on Friday and did not have to work at all on Monday. Friday night me and the wifey went over to a friends house for a poker night, it was fun. On Saturday I went boating with a friend, then came home and watched Monsters vs. Aliens with the girls. Sunday was going to be the big day out at the beach and doing family fun stuff, but as usual it rained nearly all day. Due to the rain we headed out to buy some fireworks, we went to a new place in Boca where everything was overpriced, so we left after waiting in a long line to get in. We headed up to the old faithful Sky King in Delray, no lines and fair prices. The girls were very excited to get home and blow stuff up, I was too. On our way home we received a call from one of Tati’s friends, they invited us over to watch the fireworks on the beach from their rooftop, beach condo. Since we were planning on going to the beach anyway to watch the fireworks, we accepted the invitation. What a great view from their nine-story building, we could see not only the main firework show at Deerfield Beach, but also all the fireworks going off from Fort Lauderdale to the south and Margate to the west. You could hardly focus on one spot, with so many things going off and blowing up in every direction.
Monday rolled around and it was Tati’s first day at surf camp. I dropped her off the went home and scooped up the little one and we both headed back to the beach for some sand castle building and body surfing, she had such a great time. When I went home for lunch today the first thing she said was “dad didn’t we go to the beach yesterday”. Tati is loving the surf camp, she was able to paddle out and stand up all on her own on the first day. Now its back to the old grind for me, cant wait for the weekend
