I Love Emerica!

We spent the 4th of July one man lady down while Cienna was working on her tan in CA with Granny. It was her first flight by herself and there were a few tears between she and AJ before she left us for greener pastures. I tried to bribe them with Kiva Juice (Jamba Juice for all you Californian's reading this) but it did little to help the emotional toll saying goodbye for 8 days would have...for 5 minutes! As she boarded the plane she gave AJ a hug and a kiss on the cheek which he returned by hooking her neck and yelling in front of all of the A boarding group "No! On the lips Cienna!" It got quite a laugh from everyone.

As I watched her plane taxi out to the runway all I could think was, "Boo yea! 1 child for a week!"

Once we knew she arrived safely we could finally allow ourselves to have a bit of fun. We headed up to the cabin for traditional Emerican 4th of July festivities such as rafting while drinking cheap Emericanbeer....

Throwing our body on the ground for good ole' Emerican sugar in mass quantities...

And legally bought Chinese fireworks brought illegally across state lines! It's the Emerican way!

Although AJ did not want her to return, Cienna did come home just 2 days later. Word has it that UC Santa Cruz is now on her college list!

And my mom may just invite her back!
