happy fourth of july!

we had a low-key day (which i forgot to take any photos of...i know, krista forgot to take photos!). it was nice - we went to the pool in the afternoon, took a walk at the mall (too hot to walk outside these days), and had our friends jeremy and alisa over for bbq'd chicken, fresh corn on the cob from the farmer's market, and biscuits for dinner.

sadly, my friend mary called last night and said that her mom died that day. so, if you think of her, please pray for mary and her family.

the summer swim season is over on saturday - the champs meet is friday evening through saturday afternoon. us coaches are swimming in the coaches' medley relay on saturday between sessions. we'll see how that goes.

here are a few photos from last week at the pool; the quality is terrible since they're from an old underwater camera from our hawaii trip 2 years ago. but benjamin's adorable. ;)
and a sea turtle from that hawaii trip 2 years ago:
