Happy Belated 4th of July

On Friday, July 3rd, My Dynda parents and nephew Tomasz came to visit us to celebrate the 4th of July for the weekend. They came in the morning. My father wanted to fix a hole under our porch and front walkway, and went with Kevin and Tomasz to the store to buy pipe and other items. We figured out why it had this hole since before we moved in: my dad said that too much water from rain came down from the gutter that caused the soil to sink and made it a hole. The men dug it up to make it path from where the gutter is to farther out on the side of our house. Afterwards, they attached the pipe to the gutter and put it under the front walking side to the farther side so the water would go out there. It worked great!! You will know what I am talking about after you see these pictures below. After they all were done working with it, they bought some ice cream from the ice cream truck that comes through the neighborhoods! How fun!

The next day, 4th of July, was not great because it was rainy and gloomy. In our neighborhood, they rented all of fun activities such as a giant water slide, bouncing, train riding, etc. for kids to play and celebrate 4th of July. Some of kids were still doing these activities during the rain. Wish Gabriella and Tomasz would join but would hurt them by slipping from the rain. It was no fun for kids. Other than that, we met new neighbors. Some of them did cook out some good foods even though we didn't eat them. During the night, we saw some fireworks in our backyard but it was far. Otherwise, we could see them.

Water Sliding

Hopefully, next year in 2010, we will do something fun and will able to see the fireworks that wont ruin our day like last time!
