Sunday - July 4 We had a wonderful holiday weekend - enjoyed Anne, Patrick, Liam and Connor and our time in the pool, then appetizers/drinks poolside. Back to the boat for short naps and a quick shower passed thru. We drove into town for a the big pizza bash - Ottawa's newspaper (The Times) and Binacchi's Pizza sponsor this event each year We stood in line in the park waiting for 2 slices of pizza (all kinds), water or Pepsi for $2. What a deal!!! The volunteers were running acrss the street fast and furious carrying these large pizzas for the hungry vultures! What a deal and very good (we had been told there are several GOOD pizza places in Ottawa, and Binacchi's was definitely one of them) Then on to secure our spot for the fireworks which were excellent along with all the patriotic tunes.
Happy Birthday, America
Fun in the pool

Waiting for the fireworks
Monday - July 5 Hot, sunny, and windy! Liam and Connor were really tuckered out as they didn't get up till after 10:00 this morning. We went for a boat ride with...
Connor at the helm
and, Liam at the helm
Anne and her boys
We anchored out and had lunch (Mark grilled brats) and then back to our slip and while the boys napped
(almost 3 hours), we played euchre with the guys winning 2 out of 3!.
Some of you have asked about an update on Anne and her tests - she has appointment with her neurologist on July 27th (he's on vacation), so we're thinking "no news is good news". Will report back after the 27th.
I'm back to therapy tomorrow - shoulder is sore, but hopefully on the mend?
Mark and I so appreciate all the nice e-mails and blog comments regarding Ryan's flyover - I'm still so giddy just thinking about it! We look forward to seeing the video that 2 of our friends recorded live from the game. Other than the Cardinals playing really terrible on Saturday, it was just such a great day at the ole ballpark!!! This 4th of July weekend is one for the memory books!
