Memorial Day

For the first time in three years we remembered to bring our camera to the Memorial Day festivities. Which was a very good thing because Thad's Mom was not there to be our paparazzi like usual. She was up north with Tenille and Matt helping out with the newest grand baby, who I'm told is a perfect angel already :) I'll call you in two weeks Tenille and you can let me know how things are going then ;) Congrats you two, and good luck!
We started the morning off at the cemetery and then headed to G&G Richards for the annual BBQ/swim party extravaganza. Thankfully there were no sunburns or fun island casualties to report. Just a ton of good food and fun with G&G and the Morgan cousins.

This is the face Sammy made, accompanied by gasping and pointing, whenever he saw a flag. Keep in mind we were at a cemetery on Memorial Day. LOTS of flags.

He finally stole one from one of the cousins, whose parents wisely brought their own so they didn't have to keep chasing their kids to stop them from yanking up all the flags.

Thad brought the water proof camera this year and had fun playing with it in the pool. He even took a video while doing a front flip into the pool, just to see what it looks like. If you watch it too many time you will probably puke. But this one if from halfway in the water.

And this is how excited Andi was all day. In the few minutes she was taking a break to eat she said, "Mom, I love this day!"

Sammy was pretty brave around the pool.

No, we did not let him jump off the diving board, and that is the face he made when Thad told him to smile. Mostly he sat by the steps in the shallow end playing with squirt guns or trying to get Thad to let him play with the camera.

It was a great day, and seems to be the official kick off to summer. It's been crazy hot ever since.
