Wow, what a weekend! I'm having trouble remembering all we did. Friday night neighbors came over for backyard smore's. On Saturday Jake's racing buddy Mason and his family came over for a BBQ and Mason and the boys had a sleep over. Sunday the boys and Mason met more riding buddies, Nolan and Jarrett, at our local track to do some riding. Then Nolan and Jarrett came back to our house to cool off in the pool. After that we had dinner at a neighbor's and the boys went swimming again at their house. Monday, I took off work and we rode our bikes into town to get pizza, then the boys had their dentist visit. They did really good at the dentist so we stopped in at Chuck-E-Cheese right next door to the dentist for a little bit, followed by meeting Mommy for sushi. We started off the 4th with our neighborhood bike and dog parade. Then we went swimming with Tyler's teacher from last year, Mrs. Pon, at her brother's pool. Dogs are allowed in the pool so Dungey got to go swimming too. That evening we bounced between two more neighborhood pool parties and then some neighborhood street fireworks and sparklers. I'm tired just writing about all of it! We got some pretty water logged kids from all the swimming they have been doing, but they are ready for more. Great start to summer!

Jake found a baby praying mantis in our back yard. PawPaw George gave Jake praying mantis eggs to bring home a couple years ago. I don't know if these are from those eggs but, this is the first praying mantis I've seen in San Diego.

Dungey is not a big fan of a bath

 Of course, Tyler schmoozes up to the lady that runs the track's snack bar's little girl!

 Crazy riding buddies
