Memorial Day

Mommy and Oliver had a nice Memorial Day together!  Oliver slept late while Mommy ran her heart out in a short fast run.  Then we spent some time swimming at the Y!

Walking the wall at the Y in his 2013

Birthday shirt and American bathing suit.

He was very patriotic today!  He also knew 

about the Holiday and who we were honoring.

Special hours today!

They always have prizes too!  We didn't win though!

But we won at the pool!

No other children were in the pool!

We had to ask the manager to open the

door for us!  (Mommy likes having

doors open for her.  Her coffee is with her.)

It was a very beautiful day today.

Counting how many people in the pool.

Four adults.  We liked that!

It was fun to watch Oliver in the

"deepness" today!

Too fast for Mommy!  We had a nice swim!

Two more families came in the pool and they

were both families we knew!  That was fun!

We came home to rest and play:

Oliver worked on taking the sunflowers down.  Mommy

didn't ask him too, she guesses he thought it must be time.

He asked her to harvest it with her.  Mommy

sat down to pull out the seeds, but a bunch of 

bugs kept scrambling out!  So, she took a break!

We will harvest the seeds this week!

Mommy felt like taking Memorial Day pictures:

Thanks Aunt Jess for the pretty flowers!

We love our country!  

We are thankful for all the men and women who have served

in the military and made it possible for us to live here.

(Oliver kept singing "You're a Grand Old Flag" today.  It was really cute!)
