Memorial Day

We went to a BBQ at my sister Kim's house for Memorial Day. We spent most of the day by the pool. The only escape for the heat nowadays. Niamh tried her first watermelon and loved it! The guys had a friendly game of water football and Lucas won...yay! Gavin & Tyrone got new goggles for the occasion and had a great time looking under the water with them. We ate and ate till we were stuffed and swam some more. That afternoon we went to Lucas' brother Jasons house and had another BBQ and pool party there. We seriously ate so much, I don't even want to remember it. I forgot my camera so no pics there. The pool was a little chilly for Niamh, but once we got in the jaccuzi (that was just beginning to heat up) she went crazy, splashing and squeeling with delight. Needless to say the kids passed out on the way home that night. If only we could spend everyday like that........

Sounds like you had a great time! Eating too much on a holiday is par for the course - we all do it!

You're boys are getting so big. Lucas, I think I might need help for the Criminal Procedure section of the California Bar. When do you need probable cause?
