Memorial Day Weekend was a quiet and relaxing one. After all of the travel and events in April and May, it was nice to finally have a weekend that involved very little. The girls, Shaun and myself ran a few errands, took a few drives and on Sunday headed to the pool for a nice swim. The weather has still been a bit cool, but that doesn’t stop our little fishies from jumping in. Luckily the pools are heated too.

This was the first time we had gone up to the community pool at our house and it was very nice! There is a small wading pool for kids, which allowed Abby and Ellie the chance to splash and walk around. Abby even tried to swim on her own and practice her kicking. She also had fun splashing daddy as best she can.


After a bit of time, Abby convinced Shaun to take her into the big pool. She loved it the first moment she splashed in and Shaun had his hands full. They bounced all over the pool, kicking, splashing, learning to swim. It was hard to pull Abby out of the pool.

Ellie had a great time too. After a long month of being terrified of the water for some unknown reason, I was able to ease Ellie into the pool. Once she was used to it, I couldnt stop her from splashing around. Ellie was now a fishy too!

The Memorial Day weekend wasn’t all that eventful, but we had a great time. Nothing like spending time in the pool and relaxing with my family.
