As usual, we went over to my parents' house for Memorial Day Weekend. It was HOT! We were actually supposed to go to a birthday party, but we had all been really sick and were still trying to get over the sniffles, so I thought it would be best if we didn't spread the love. So, we just relaxed and played (and ate), and had a good time!
My dad had done some shopping, and got the boys their first real baseball caps!
The neighbors' peach trees were overflowing, and they said we were welcome to come over and pick some if we wanted to. We got two huge bowls full (although I'm not sure what we're going to do with them all!).
There were TONS of butterflies all over the trees!
After the peach-picking, we went back into the air conditioning and the kids painted some suncatchers. I actually painted one, too. :)
Time for swimming!! The kids could hardly wait to get into the pool! Grammy and Granddad always let them have popsicles while they're in the water, which is a bonus.
That was all on Saturday. Then, on Monday (Memorial Day), we went back over there for Round Two!
Anna was helping Grammy in the kitchen.
Dad's brisket, about to go back into the fire for many hours!
There was more swimming, of course, and some baseball!
Such concentration.
Brisket's done! Nicky's trying to sneak some pieces before it's all cut up.
This might have been one of the best Dad has ever made. We gave him a standing ovation when he entered the kitchen.
Anna went crazy with that corn on the cob!
This was at about 5:00, when it was already starting to cool off for the evening. I'm pretty sure we broke 100 degrees.
It was a good weekend to help recover from our mini-vacation the week before and from being really sick. It's always fun to spend time with my family!
