This year Gloria and Chuck came to visit us. They arrived very late on Wednesday night; Buddy was still up and was excited to meet them. The next day, on the holiday, we had a busy day. We took Buddy for a walk in the morning, then all of us minus Buddy joined the neighborhood for the annual parade with the firetruck. Afterward, we returned to the cabana for swimming and a bbq lunch. This year the boys decided not to do the “coin dive"; thus when the event happened, the boys were content just watching other kids searching for coins. Next was the famous “greased watermelon fight”. To me, this event was quite violent, but the crowds including the boys loved watching it. We were exhausted after few hours in the sun, so we took a break at home before we barbequed for dinner. Before sunset, we headed out to the Almaden Lake park for the fireworks. The show this year was great again. There was a weird pause toward the end, but the finale did eventually come and did not disappoint. The show definitely worth the walk we had to make to go to the park. At the end of the day, we all had over 20K steps.
The next two days, Gloria and Chuck just wanted to relax, so we just hung out near home. We went for some shopping, made hotpot for dinner, and went swimming every day. Logan and Connor spent some time drawing with Chuck as they are aware that he is an artist. Gloria and Chuck also shared their experience about dogs with us and taught us some tips to help train Buddy too. This was a nice weekend spending some time with Gloria and Chuck.
