We had a nice time today with Grandma Etu and Grandpa Eugenio plus lots of great cousin time with Jessica and Adam at the Tacoma Park July 4th parade. It was very low key - we just hung out along the parade route and then after the parade had a really nice family lunch. Rachel had dressed up Jenny and Ava in red, white, and blue outfits. Ava didn't quite know what to make of the parade but she liked it and then fell asleep on Rachel! Adam loved playing with Ava and everyone had a great time with her. Then when we got home, Jenny and I went swimming in the Hillandale pool while Rachel put Ava to bed. It was great having the pool to ourselves and we splashed around for about an hour mostly playing tag and other pool games that Jenny invented. All of Jenny's games have one thing in comment: the rules are designed to favor her. So we were playing tag and I have to close my eyes! Or she has special powers that makes me unable to tag her if she is holding on to the blue floating noodle! It's fun to play those games with her.
We came home from the pool and Rachel fed Jenny dinner while I sat out on the back deck and read the paper.
Jenny just went to bed and Rachel and I are watching the National Symphony 4th of July celebration on TV. I will quickly post a few photos. Tomorrow I have to work but it should be quiet so I hopefully will get lots done.
More later...
