Happy Birthday America

Our 4th of July weekend was pretty quiet. Gary's parents came over for a BBQ on the 4th. We didn't watch any fireworks, as it was too late for the boys. We also spent a lot of time at the community pool over the long weekend. Joshua finally got up the nerve to go down the water slide. I meant to take my camera to the pool to get pictures, but I forgot. I hope to get pictures of him going down the slide very soon. His swimming instructor walked him up the slide and he went down all by himself. It only took the one time and he was hooked. Now all he wants to do is go down the slide. On Saturday, I went to the Diamondbacks game with Gary's parents. Gary's dad was working that night. For those that don't know, Gary's dad is an employee of the Arizona Diamondbacks as a "Golden Glover." A Golden Glover is a person in their "golden" ages that sits on either the 1st base line or 3rd base line and retrieves any foul balls that are hit. He really enjoys his "job." Anyway, he gets 2 tickets to each game he works, so Gary's mom and I watched Gary's dad work. I have attached a picture from earlier in the season, when Joshua went to watch Oompa (Joshua's name for Gary's dad) work. Sunday was church, swimming and cleaning the house. I hope all of you had a relaxing 4th.
