Memorial Day

This year for Memorial Day, I took the kids up to my dad's house. Jason never has this holiday off and now that there's three little ones and Joshie and Jenna are a little older, its a lot easier and more fun that just staying at home.

Joshie and Jenna couldn't wait to get up there and go swimming!

Before we went swimming though, Jenna had a fun time running around behind the walker that she thinks is a "car"...wonder where she got THAT idea (Joshua!)

My dad and I took the "big kids" to their pool which overlooks the lake...

It was the first time Joshie was going to use water wings instead of a little floatie....
Here's a little video of him getting into the water for the first time:

Of course Jenna's little floatie that she loved last year she now hates. She wants to just run right into the water - no floaties or anything! She has no fear! My parents say that she is just like I was growing up....I know why I was an only child! (just kidding)

We stayed and played for about an hour before heading back to the house. After some snackies, we all went out to play volleyball in the backyard.

Julianna just slept (don't worry, she was covered, but I uncovered her just to take her picture)

Joshie pretended to play volleyball with his own ball. He even tried to get it over the net...not quite tall enough though

Jenna was quite content to sit on the patio with her grapes watching...for a while...then she wanted to play with Joshie...
