Memorial Day Celebrating

Our Memorial Day weekend was perfectly awesome!  We celebrated and spent our weekend doing just what I think the people we spend the weekend begin thankful for envisioned us doing.  Friends, food, parading and swimming!  It was awesome :)

We kicked it off with some backyard relaxin'.

 And some Cooper-taken selfies.

 That night we camped out in the living room.  The boys had a ball!!

 Ice cream in the dino tent while we watched Walking With Dinosaurs.

The next day we got up and the Cincoski's came on over for a BBQ.  There was much mayhem...and amazing fun had.  Including these adorable kiddos snacking on red, white and blue cupcakes courtesy of Aunt Steff :)

We ended up playing in the yard, riding scooters and swinging till late into the afternoon.  We adults drank wine and wrangled kiddos till we were all too tired to do so!  The boys hopped in a much needed bath and this crew slept well!!  Thank you Uncle Bryan, Aunt Steff, Peyt and Lil' man Case.  Awesome times!!

 The next day we got up and headed on into Alton for the town's Memorial Day parade.  It was one of my favorite parades to date! 

 My niece is getting closer and closer to joining this crazy bunch...and I can't wait :)

Ryder and his main man Coop.  They are kindred spirits!

For the record, this kid LOVED the parade.  All of it. The people, the bands, the excitement.  Such a fun baby.  He loves wherever we adventure to and I absolutely adore this about him!

We left the parade, grabbed lunch and after a little down time, headed over to swim with the Cincoski's and left overs from the day before.  We left happy, sleepy and content for having spent a wonderful weekend with wonderful family and friends! Happy Memorial Day :)
