Enjoying the holiday. Ready for the party. Quick photo bomb- No worries- there will be A LOT more after the parade and party. :) This year instead of karaoke- we have a MAGICIAN!!!! Then, RQ's baptism is Saturday.

who doesn't love a nap on the beach?

sometimes we play in the pool and not on the beach. :) sometimes, we take the pool TO the beach. lol

And yes, for those of you wondering- I am on day 18 straight of running and I have upped my distance by a half mile! I feel great and cannot wait for my 5K in November!
