With the MLB All Star Game in town, we had to soak up some of the action. Since many of the free activities were outside in 90+-degree heat, we sucked it up and bought tickets to FanFest for some air-conditioned fun. And, it did not disappoint! There were balloon animals, face painting, skills practices and…
Another 4th with Friends
Like last year, we enjoyed a fun 4th at home with friends! We had the extra fun of sparklers and a few fireworks that were a huge hit!
Independence Ball
On the eve of Independence Day, the family set out for something truly American – baseball. At Nats Park, the Nationals took on the Red Sox. While the family was somewhat divided, overall, we were happy to see the Sox take home a solid victory! (BT Edit: Questionable use of the word “overall”)

But before summer camp began in full swing, we celebrated graduation season with a night honoring the soon-to-be-Kindergartners.
Dry and Wild Miami
Thanks to a tropical storm, half of our stay in Miami for Brian’s birthday was a bit wet. However, we took full advantage of the outside when the rain went away. Here are some highlights!
