4th of July 2011

Mr. Bob's daughter came with her family to give me a break in taking care of Mr. Bob after his knee surgery.  So, they were here for the 4th of July when you and your family came over for a BBQ.  Right before we ate, I burned my left arm on the baked beans casserole.  It really hurt and your father went to the drugstore to get some cream and a bandage.  Your mother fixed me up with a pain pill and I finished it all with lots of wine.  However, I did stay around to watch the cannonball contest and the ball toss.


Here's your father jumping into the pool.   Then you practicing for the cannonball contest.

Here's you with Andrew and Jaiden.

Here are the winners of the cannonball contest.  You, Andrew, Alyssa and Jaiden.  In the background is Mr. Ron, our neighbor, and Mr. Dennis.  Everyone won a ball.

Later Mr. Dennis threw balls for you to catch when you jumped into the water.

Of course, your mother and Mr. Bob had to oplay some chess.  You mother came out the winner.

Later you and Andrew played in the family room for awhile.  I went to bed very early because the pain pill and the sleeping pill knocked me out.
