Memorial Day

It's been a while since I updated this blog... sorry 'bout that. :)  But rather than trying to fill in all the gaps today, I'll just post some pictures from our fun Memorial Day celebration.

The highlight was definitely playing in the little pools Grandpa had set up outside. It was seriously hot, but once the kiddos got in the water, they didn't seem to mind. 

 Carter was surprisingly tentative in the pool, compared with last summer. No running starts and bellyflops into the pool for him; he was content to sit still and play with a few toys...

Oh, and splash his cousin Anna. :) 

She didn't seem to care too much.

 Amelia sat in her own slightly smaller pool and played with cups. She loves pouring water back and forth from one cup to another, so she spent most of her time doing that, just like she does in the bath. She was a very happy camper and didn't want to get out.


This is her shy face. :) So cute.

Carter and Anna did plenty of pouring as well. 

And, of course, splashing.

Pretty girl. Love how the hat rests right on top of her pigtails. :) 

The other highlight of the day? A yummy dinner put together by Grandma and Grandpa. Burgers, pasta salad, grilled veggies. Mmmm....

P.S. Don't laugh at my feeble attempts at food photography. :) It's not my forte but I want to get better at it... 

Hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day too!
