My parents have come and gone. We had a great visit. Glenn loves sharing his room with them, although he was very excited last night to be able to sleep in his bed again. He was sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor, or rather anywhere on the floor. He doesn't always stay on the sleeping bag. My dad came down before my mom did since she was still finishing up the school year. My dad got to see Glenn's last day of swim lessons. I think Glenn was showing off for him because he was doing more than he had done in the past two weeks. He was jumping into the pool without holding my hand. He's still not swimming, but isn't quite afraid of the water as he used to be.

We also went to the Jacksonville Zoo with my dad. Here are some pictures:

The boys and I went to Pump it Up this morning: an indoor bounce house party place. They had a couple hours this morning where you could come in and bounce. There were 6 huge bounce houses/obstacle course/slides. We went with a couple of my friends and their children. I could not believe how Glenn could just keep going. As soon as he got down a slide, he'd be climbing his way back up. It's really a great idea, and since it's inside, we didn't have to worry about the kids getting too hot. After an hour and a half, I could see Glenn was getting tired, and it was past Alexanders nap, so we left. We definitely got our money's worth, and we only had to pay for Glenn. Great deal!

Tomorrow, Bob has the day off, so we're getting out of the house so Bob doesn't get bored and end up working. We're going to the beach down in St. Augustine, and maybe a fort after lunch. Saturday, we're going to the soccer fields in our neighborhood to meet up with friends and to go in bounce houses, have snow cones, face painting and other things all for free, being thrown by a neighborhood group. I'm sure we won't be going out somewhere to watch fireworks, because Alexander is in bed by 7:00 and it would be too loud for him. We'll probably be able to see neighborhood fireworks just sitting outside our house.

Have a safe and fun weekend, everyone!
