Memorial Day with the Merida's...

Our first Memorial Day as a family was spent feasting with friends Barry, Kelly & Amy.  We enjoyed a delicious "cookout to go" of steak, potatoes and so much more at our house followed by afternoon swim over our friends' house...
Amy and Mom...
Titus getting spoiled...
Vica loved the television in Amy's bathroom...
Living the high life... :)
James was quite the daredevil.  On three different occasions Barry, myself and Tony had to jump in to keep him afloat... Looking forward to swim lessons!
Angela had a blast...
Mom and Dad enjoying the "show"...
Barry the "Cooking Machine"...
Titus running away from splashes...
The hot tub became the "kiddie pool"...
It took awhile to pry Victoria away from the water.  She did not want to get out!
Nice hair...
Didn't quite figure out the goggles...
Focused...
Coming up for air...
Jana was the other daredevil...
Sweet fellowship...
This afternoon (Tuesday) the kids all played "house" together for the first time.  It was precious.  I could hear them talking earlier about "Ukraine" and "Mississippi".  Wish I could be a Russian fly on the wall to understand...

Looks like a great memorial day party! It's a riot seeing your parents relaxing while the kids play--I bet they never got to do that when you and your sisters were little. They looked like they were really enjoying it! :-)
