Happy Fourth of July

I got off work early yesterday (at about 3:10) and we drove down to visit Uncle Bogey and Auntie Thotlady. We are staying at the Embassy Suites. The boys, especially Leo, love to stay in hotels. I do too to be honest. It is like a mini vacation from all the mundane responsibilities at home. This morning we woke up had breakfast (Embassy Suites has the best hotel breakfasts) and then Jason went to work out with Uncle Bogey and the boys and I went to the swimming pool for an hour. Aidan is a great swimmer. I was throwing him in the deep area to make sure he could float. The first time he went a little crazy trying to swim but the second, third and fourth times he just went straight into floating. It was really great! Leo is also learning to love the water. He jumped off the side of pool, dunked his head and puts his face in the water. When we got back to the room, it was clean! Does life really get better than that?

On a sad, sad note Uncle Bogey and Auntie Thotlady's dog Charlotte passed away on Wednesday. We are all very sad and especially sad for Uncle and Auntie. She was a super wonderful puppy and will be very missed by the whole family.

We will go back home tomorrow. We do not want to battle the traffic on Sunday and I thought it would be nice to have a day of rest over the weekend. Work has, as usual, been a bear. Maybe tomorrow we will check out the Rockville fireworks if they have some. I don't want to go downtown to watch the fireworks because it is just not a good idea with two small children. Jason and I did it a couple of times when we were "young" and we are just not that interested now-maybe in a few years.

On Sunday, we plan to go to Jake and Bec's house for a BBQ. We did this last year too and it was great fun. There was lots of great food, awesome company and relaxing. It was a hot day and there was beer and a sprinkler for the boys to run around in with only there underwear on. I had to ask Bec's if it was okay if she had two boys running around her front yard in only underpants. She said "of course"!

So that is what we are up to. I hope everyone else has a safe, fun and relaxing fourth of July.

Love you.
