So, I know I'm a week late, but HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, from The Gilleys! Our day was probably a lot like everyone's 4th of July. Kinda low key, but still just fun!
We went to "Jenks, America" and spent the day at Jenks' downtown Freedom Fest, where the Fire Trucks were there spraying water on all the kids for a giant make-shift splash pad. There were bounce houses, live music, free watermelon and chips and salsa for all! Everyone was happy and it was not too crazy to feel overwhelming in the least bit! It was a perfect afternoon.
We came home, watched The Sandlot (we've kept that tradition alive since our first year of marriage and now the kids love that movie too!), made red and blue jell-o (with lots of white whipped cream), and grilled yummy food. We watched the awesome Salute to America, which was perfect in every way. Love him or hate him, President Trump did a GREAT job honoring America and reminicising about all the incredible, positive things that have happened throughout our country's history.
We stayed in our front yard this year for the girl's 1st time since we moved here. All the neighbors came out, we played traditional USA anthems on loud speakers and lit up the sky with some fun, awesome fireworks.
I just LOVE the 4th of July. It makes my heart soar when I think of my freedoms and swell with pride when I reflect on where I live- in the USA. Happy Birthday America!
"So.... I went in to get the same thing done on my hair that I’ve been doing for almost 3 years, and since my hair takes 3 hours to do (it was all the way down to my belly button!!!) I changed my mind a million times on whether or not to really cut it while she worked. I finally gave in because having such thick, long hair is so dang hot and I needed a break 🥵 The wind kinda ruined the pics but here I am- 9 inches later! Can’t decide if I’m happy or depressed because I did love my long hair. But for better or for worse, I finally took the plunge."💇🏻♀️ #SnipSnip #AttachmentIssues #SoLongLongHair
Speaking of hair..... I did a temporary purple hair dye on the girls. It looked AWESOME on Piper's hair. It said it would last 2-3 weeks..... Um. It COMPLETELY washed out right after the very first time they went swimming!!! What the heck! I was so bummed for them! Next time we do it, we're gonna wait until Idaho because we won't be swimming in chlorine out there. We will be in the River and then in the Ocean when we drive over to Oregon :)
And, speaking of hair reminds me of spas which leads me to this post from 3 days ago:
"Monday’s are the pits. Especially when Daddy leaves us for a week in San Diego🏝So we decided a home-spa-night might help cure the Monday blues😉💅🏼💆🏻♀️. {And bonus- the cucumbers are fresh from Piper’s section of the garden!🥒 }"
I'll end this post with a few more pool pictures, you know, 'cause that's where we basically live :)
