Memorial Day Weekend '09

We had such a nice Memorial Day weekend. After working endless hours - nights and weekends - prepping for his trial last week, Joe took the whole weekend off and we had three glorious days together. We just had a fun time being together, being at home, having no set plans, and enjoying some sunshine. On Memorial Day we went to the parade, which was great. Laina loved it. Cooper thought seeing all the people was excellent but listening to the marching bands did not rank high on his list of "likes". Oh well!

Laina has been asking us to go to the beach so in the afternoon we decided to head there since Monday was the warmest day of the weekend. It was chilly right on the water but we were bundled up and had a great time. Laina loved digging in the sand. One of the many great things about being 5 minutes away from the beach is that I don't need to have a sandbox in my backyard! Despite the windy chilly temps, there were actually a lot of kids swimming in the water - yikes! Joe and Laina decided to dip their feet in the water. I decided not to join them!
