We spent the Fourth of July at my sister and brother-in-laws annual party. They do a big bash every year. This year, there were 65 people there at one time. Rebecca got to play with her friend Christine and Emily made a "new" friend. It was actually a little girl from our old church but she had completely forgotten who they were. Emily kept calling her "that girl" because she still couldn't remember her name.
The party really started when everyone went home. The grownups went out to the moonwalk and attempted to play in it. It wasn't as easy as the children made it look! First of all, there was a small entrance so you had to slither in it. Then, if you went towards the sides, you had the fear of collapsing the moon bounce. I saw one girl do it earlier in the day and had warned the others but Jay, being a man, jumped where he pleased. And he fell off the side. We thought we were goners. Slight exaggeration but was good for a laugh.
We used muscles that were long forgotten. I was sore a full day afterwards!
I thought this was funny: Misty, the girls and I were sitting in the dining room. I stood up from sitting in a chair for awhile and was stiff. With my body sore from playing outside like a child I made the statement that I was old. Emily, who was coloring, never looked up but said "then my children won't have a grandma" Misty and I had no idea what she was talking about. She explained that if I was old and I die, her children won't have a grandma. I love her way of thinking.
