July 3rd, 4th, and 5th!

July 3rd:
Busy day...Brendon had to redo my brakes and rotors after the new tires.  While he was doing this I was packing for my hotel stay for the Peachtree Road race.  Then quickly fed Olivia lunch and then Brendon zoomed off to get groceries.  Then the girls arrived and we got all packed up and ready to go.  We went to the Expo first so Joan and Tina could get their numbers.  Then we checked into the hotel and got dinner and walked around for a bit.  Then it was bed time.

While at the homestead...Brendon did dinner and gymnastics with Olivia.  Then they went for a swim and over to the neighbors for some fireworks!

July 4:
I am not sure if I slept much...got up at 5:45 and started getting ready for the Peachtree Road Race.  It was so nice to not have to get up at 3:30 a.m.! But got ready to go...it was a cool morning about 64 degrees! It was a good run...not my best 10K (I had 58:43 on my watch but they had me clocked at 58:58)...slower by 2 minutes from last year but I ran good and had fun!

 

Post race lunch!

While at the homestead...Brendon and Olivia went to the parade. By the time I got home they had lunch, went swimming, and were napping...yes both of them! Then we just swam after nap and grilled kabobs.  We decided to stay home since the place that usually does fireworks didn't do them this year, plus Olivia isn't a fan of the booms.  So we did some sparklers in the driveway and she was fine with that and so were we!

 

 

July 5th: Today we did some house work.  I pulled weeds....lots of them.  I am so not a green thumb....my back, arms, and hands hurt so bad at the moment.  Brendon worked on the squirrel damage... and we took a trip to Lowes.  After Lowes and a quick rest I tried finishing the weeds and just gave up.  Sprayed some round up and covered with mulch...of course we were short one back of mulch...that can be done another day! I will take some pictures of our repairs and gardening tomorrow!
