Once we were able to tear ourselves away from Mele's family, we headed home to get ready for the rest of the day....Greg did some work in the yard and I worked on some stuff around the house. Then, when Greg was done it was so hot that he decided to "take a leap" and be the first one to try our pool. Aside from it needing to be filtered a little more and cleaned, he loved it!! Oh, and that pool cover...totally works to keep the pool warm, you will NEVER need a pool filter with one of these covers, and we rarely have to fill it since it can't evaporate through the cover!!
Karyl REALLY wanted to get in, Daddy had to convince her that it was too warm for her to swim in (yes, the cover makes it that warm!!).
Evening...
On to the Angel's Game...we met Greg's family there and it was a great game (we creamed the Orioles!!). Freddie was much better behaved than I ever imagined and he even took 2 naps (I had to wander the halls with him so he didn't hear all the screaming, but there were lots of TVs around so I didn't miss the action. He even enjoyed the Fireworks show and didn't cry once, just stared at them!!
Michael Johns from American Idol, Season 7 sang the National Anthem!
Then, they unfurled this GIANT flag on the field....
Then this GIGANTIC Boeing flew overhead in honor of the 4th!! This picture doesn't do it justice, it flew RIGHT over our seats and it put goosebumps on my arms, it was AWESOME!!
To Grandma B...sorry, I can't crop the pictures on the blog, and this was such a cute pic of Greg and Freddie....
And then there were the fireworks....one of the main reasons we went to the game on the 4th!!
Oh, and while there I got to meet up with yet another friend from High School, Melayne. We haven't seen each other in at least 6 years!! It was awesome to see her and get to talk!!
And to end the night we found the car, put the kids in their PJs and sat and watched a movie in the van. No one was going ANYWHERE in that parking lot! Finally after about 45 minutes we snaked through to the back of the lot and found the 57 freeway...which was PACKED.....then to the ever so wonderful 91 freeway....thank goodness for the Express Lanes, sorry to anyone we flew by that was sitting in that traffic!!
Sunday, July 5th
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHERYL, CHRISTINE and CARRI!!!
Here are some pics of us from the Happiest Place on Earth!!
Karyl has been wanting one of these lollipops forever but we keep putting her off...well, she went into the candy shop with Grandpa while Greg and I walked towards the front of the park and this is what we saw when they came trotting up...
Happy birthday to Greg's sisters, my favorite sister-in-laws, and Karyl's Aunties!!!
Oh, and as a side note...I had a major breakthrough this weekend, I FINALLY bought a pair of real jeans!! I finally decided I had been wearing the maternity jeans long enough...4 months after a baby is a little too long to try and pass off the elastic belly =)

Wow, what a fun and eventful day! I am so jealous that you have a pool! Freddie looks like he is really enjoying watching that Home Depot project. And what a cool project too. I really need to take Trent there to do one of those!! So fun to see your kids. They are so cute and Karyl is getting so old too fast!!!
Looks like you had a fun filled weekend! Aren't the holidays a great excuse to have fun family get-togethers?
Hope you get good use out of your pool this summer.
