Memorial Day Weekend

We had a very busy memorial day weekend. There was so many things to celebrate. 

First off Friday late afternoon we drove down to Orlando for Justina's (Our cousin) high school graduation.  She graduated Saturday morning, it was so great to be able to see he walk the line and get her diploma. She graduated with honors and we are so proud of her. After the graduation we went back to there house and had a big graduation party. There was lots of swimming and squirt gun fights going on that day.  The weather was beautiful and the pool was just the right temp. We got up bright and early Sunday morning so we could start the drive back home.  On our way to Orlando we saw some signs were we could pick our own blueberries. So on the way home we stopped and had a lot of fun watching Garet pick blueberries for the first time.  We had a lot of green blueberries in our pail when we were done. I think Garet just like the look of the green ones instead of the Blue ones.  It was so much fun.

When we got home Sunday we did some relaxing the rest of the evening.

Memorial Day was very nice. We did not have any set plans so we were not in a rush when we got up Monday morning.  We decided that we were going to go to Matts moms house to do some swimming and cook out.  It was not a big party and that was so nice.  Garet was able to get used to the water since there was not a bunch of people in the pool splashing around.  This was the first time that he let go of us and was swimming around the pool with his floats on all by himself.  He did such a great job. It is so cool to see his face when he learns something new. He was so proud of himself, all he kept saying the rest of the day was " I was swimming all by myself" So awesome.  We have to be careful with Garet and how much he swims. He gets tiered a lot faster than normal and then does not understand why he is not feeling well and has no energy.  This means a very crabby Garet. He was ready to go home by about 6 and fell asleep for the night on the way home. It was an early bed time for everyone last night.  Overall a very nice weekend. I can not wait till vacation in July.

I love long weekends.
