The 4th of July fell on a Friday this year, and was such a blast. We met up my friend Kim and her family, per usual, then Cole and Zoe stopped by to see us.
We have been watching the parade with Kim and her family for years. Zoe's dad bumped into us too.
The parade is so much fun. We ran into so many friends. Ali was driving Coco's dance team in her Jeep. My friend Jennie was walking with Bubble Bee Blinds, her blind company. Brad drove his motorcycle with his dog, Ginger, in the side car. It's a blast. Afterwards, we go over to Kim's. Every year she throws down a huge spread and friends and neighbors stop ball through the night. She does such a great job, and it's always fun to catch up with her family. Later that night, Leif and Mel came by for dinner. So much fun. It was a perfect 4th.
Gretel and her poor little legs. She's always had issues, and had surgery years ago so has a plate in her knee. She gets around fine, but it cracks me up how she sits. Such a cutie.
Cole had a soccer game on Saturday and had a fun cheering section.
That's him getting a header. It was fun having everyone there, especially since he scored his first goal in years. It was a good one too.
On Sunday we went to Zoe's for family dinner.
Little Frankie is getting so big. She's 8 months old already, and so sweet.
This big baby blue jay was hovering around our window. The parent kept swooping in to check on it, and eventually usher him away.
I took this little fluffer-nutter out on a field trip on Monday. Barbus is such a cute little guy! He's 40ish pounds and such a gentleman. He does give boy dogs a bad name and wanted to mark everything, but he's such a sweet dog. I have no idea why he hasn't been snatched up yet. The other one that I don't understand is Blue (formerly Dior). She's so much fun and would be perfect for someone who loves hiking and being outdoor. All the others I've walked have been adopted, so that's the good news.
My parents had us all out on Tuesday. The Toson's are moving to Colorado next week. It was great seeing everyone before they leave.
The garden is going nuts! Perfect mix of heat and rain I guess. Better start using our nasturtiums!
