Memorial Day retrospective

Last year for Memorial Day it was pouring rain. We got up early and went to get a U-Haul. We loaded it up and threw a bunch of trash by the side of the road. Two days later, we started our drive from New Orleans to Pennsylvania. Can it be a year already?

Yesterday, we strapped our cute little boy into the stroller and walked down the street for the Memorial Day parade. He watched attentively as the fire engines, motorcycles, and green-painted veterans progressed by. He then played the dropping game with his little flag, and then was strolled home for a nap.

Friends from church came over. Grilled meat, chips, and alcoholic beverages consumed. Evening headache attended to and bed sought.

Lovely hot weather has set in, and this afternoon I'm going to Walmart to get Ellis a baby pool. I can't tell you how long I've waited for this day. I don't know who is going to have more fun in it.

You'd better take some more cute movies of that adorable kid splashing and screaming in the water!

Have fun with the baby pool! We filled up our new one on Saturday and Liv loved it. (But I think that I loved it just a teensy bit more.)

And do you remember the fun your mother and your aunt had in the baby pool while your brother looked on with some consternation??? But it sure was fun!
