Mmmm - Camarones a la Diablo

http://www.lossarapeshorsham.com/index.htm

Brian and I went to Los Sarapes for dinner last night and I had my favorite dish, Camarones a la Diablo. It is so good!

Visit the site and make a reservation if you are in the Philadelphia area. It is the best Mexican food you will ever have!

July 4th Glenside Parade

We had a fun 4th of July this year. A morning hike and swim with Val and then we got food and cocktails ready for the parade down the street. Our drink of choice this holiday was Tecate - cheap Mexican beer that tastes like Corona if you add a slice of lime. We had our fair share during the parade. Below is a picture of Brian and me along the parade route. Our friend Tom is a volunteer firefighter - he is someone important because he gets to wear the white hat. We embarrassed him by jumping in line to grab a shot with our Edgehill hero. Our neighbor, Thomas, also joined us on the parade route for his first 4th of July. He made it through the bag pipes, horns, and drums without any tears. And in 4th of July tradition, I got my pedicure and had them decorated in the festive holiday colors.
Is that Abe Lincoln? Quigs, Tom, and Jean came over after the parade for eats, drinks, games, and s'mores. Brian and his good friend Quigs.Val's good friend, Homer, also made it over for the holiday. Tom lighting bottle rockets. Our own fireman couldn't resist. Then we got the big guns and lit off a few big fireworks - see below.

Ava & Val

What's a visit with Ava without pictures of them together. Ava was excited to wake up from her nap to see Wal Wal ready to play. And Val was excited to see that Ava was eating pretzels because that meant that Val would get some too.

To the Weeee

We visited Bob, Mary, Ava and Luke and while we were there, Ava asked to go to the weeee. Hmmm - we thought that meant potty, but soon found out that meant 'park.' Mary told us that every time Ava gets on a swing, everyone says 'weeee' - so she thinks it's called 'weeee.'

We walked to the park, slid down the steamy hot slides, and went on the weeees - Ava kept asking Brian to join her. We had lots of fun!

Aunt Julie & Uncle Brian Part Tres

Below are pics of us with Luke Kenney.

Look Closely

Our front porch friend had baby birdies. All we see these days are beaks in the air waiting for their mom to bring them eats. We'll keep you updated.
