Memorial Day

We had a great time spending the weekend at my parent's house. They got a new pool put in, and this was our first time to swim in it, and I gotta tell ya...I was a fish. I LOVE pools, and I've been trying to talk J into getting one for some time now, but being the money conscience person he is, he won't do it because we won't get the money back when we move. So I guess I'll just have to make more trips to my parent's house to satisfy my pool cravings!!

My niece called me her dolphin, and kept saying, "Let's go, dolphin, take me to school. Now take me home. Now let's go to Target." It was so funny! (And it was a great workout, too!)

My niece's best friend and her mom came over to swim, and my parents got out this huge school bus float for them to play in. They loved it!!

Since J is so fair skinned he called himself the "pool vampire" because he only swam once the sun went down. He spent his days reading in the shade. But his evenings were full of pool basketball. It's a good thing my parents got the basketball hoop. Otherwise I don't think J would have gotten in the pool at all.

Maddie wouldn't get anywhere near the water, but she didn't mind riding in the big yellow school bus float! Well, for a little while, anyway.

We loved floating on the noodles!

Jessica loved jumping off the side of the pool!
Jessica wanted to be like the big people and play basketball, so J, my dad and brother helped her put the ball in the hoop. She had a ball!!
