Memorial Day

We had a fun Memorial Day as my man took our girls to ride in a local parade with him. He is a volunteer rural firefighter (that comes with country living I guess) and they rode in "The Truck" while the boys and I collected candy at the roadside. The girls really enjoyed the fame.

Afterward, we went to a friends for a BBQ and some swimming. The food was great, as was the company, and the kids LOVED the swimming pond. Now this was not your average swimming hole - they had a small dock to jump from and even a rowboat. It was a beautiful way to enjoy some sunshine.

This is Goose (on the right) and her best friend, plunging in together.


The boys took their turns but had just as much fun boating and water fighting with the bigger boys.

Boo and her friend made the most of the shore with some gourmet mud pies. Man can those girls bake!

Just a parting shot, the older kids all dipped into their piggy banks to buy goggles for the pool. As we bought a family pool pass this year, we expect to get our use out of them for sure. Spiderman thinks they are REALLY cool!
