The boys have been loving having Nana & Papa next door with a pool. Aiden is swimming entirely on his own and Drew is close behind. We're getting ready for our trip to Newport for the Fireman olympics. It's our only real vacation this year so we're very excited. I can't wait to post pics from our trip. Last week we took the boys to see Cars 2 and they loved it. It was not nearly as good as the first one but a big screen and a bag of popcorn is all they need for a good time. For the 4th, we hit the Redwood City Fire pancake breakfast, then the Redwood City Parade, then to Joe's Great Aunt & Uncle's for their annual block party. We filled up Nonni's blow up pool and they were content.
We just returned from our week long trip down to Newport/Huntington beach for the fireman olympics. The boys didn't take home a medal this year for the first time in a long time but we had fun anyways. In addition to the softball games, the guys played over the line at the beach on Monday where our car broke down. $300 later we were up and running and off to the games. We stayed with Joe's brother's family half the time and at the Host hotel in Newport the other half. We roped Grandma & Grandpa into having the boys for the night so we had a small taste of what a vacation used to feel like. I got to have lunch with an old friend from high school and another friend came down to watch the olympics with us so we got to hang out with her too. The boys had a blast, especially Aiden & Peyton. Aiden didn't want to leave. Andrew had a minor case of the runs on more than one occasion during the week and found himself in Kami's Dora underpants one night. The trip was fun but I'm glad to be home.
