The La Monica grandparents watched Jack Saturday night so Gabe and I were able to join Laura and friends on H Street for her birthday celebration, part 1.
H Street Country Club:
It was a rare, rare Sunday that Gabe had the day off! He did have work in morning for a few hours but was back in time to pick us up and get us to the Nationals Game at 1:35. We even made it there before the National Anthem!
After the Nats game we headed to the La Monica's neighborhood pool for a friends and family birthday bbq. Part 2 of the Birthday celebration.
Jack and I are regular pool rats these days among various pools in the area.
Gabe and Jack had fun catching up with each other in the pool, the pair hadn't played together in water since Tobago, almost six months ago:
Later, Jack had a great time on the swing set at the pool and climbed UP the slide twice ALL BY HIMSELF. I know I may be bragging sometimes or often, but I really don't know where this kid gets his superman strength. After dinner the gang played a fun game of volleyball until it got dark.
Then the gang headed back to the La Monica house to relive a few memories. The party turned into a slumber party when we realized we needed to get Jack to bed and we were still having fun with the gang! We usually sleep in Anna's old room aka a time capsual from her high school days. However, the house was fuller then normal with Anna back in town and cousin Kristen sleeping over. We joined Jack in Gabe's room, also a time capsual plus a crib. We might have giggled ourselves to sleep with Jack in the crib, me in the twin bed and Gabe in the trundel bed below.
Part 3, we celebrated the actual day of Laura's birth, July 12th! All a little exhausted from a fun-filled weekend, plus a full day of work or babysitting (thanks Anna, Kristen, everyone!) We had a family dinner minus Gabe because he had to work.
We walked around Old Town Alexandria and Jack was very active during most of dinner.
Happy 22nd Birthday Aunt Laura!:
