Memorial Day Weekend 2010

Oh what perrrfect weather we have had for our long weekend thus far! And have we ever taken advantage of it! On Friday night Jessica and I went downtown to meet the Toney's for Angie's 35th b-day celebration at the Rathskellar. It's been a long time since I've been down to the "Skellar" - it brought back a lot of fun memories! Then on Saturday we headed to the Haute and hung out with mom, dad and grandma for a while before going over to Aunt Kate's for Leah and Alice's graduation party. They recently put in a pool and a pool house - both of which are absolutely fabulous. Behind the pool there is a view of the field and trees, and absolutely nothing. It just feels so private and remote - I LOVE it! The girls had a great time and swam the entire time we were there. Then today we woke up and pretty quickly headed over to our pool. We were there for a few hours while the race was going on (b/c I just don't really care about the race!). I burned despite the 30 sunblock I used, but the girls and Barclay were unscathed. It was sunny and beautiful outside. Afterwards we changed clothes and headed down to the zoo to see the new Cheatah exhibit. It was HOT - that's really the only way to describe it. We couldn't stay long b/c we were over heating! The Cheatah's were cool, though, and we can cross that off our list of "need to sees". Then we picked up food to throw on the grill and had Betty and Peter over for a cook out on the back porch. Tomorrow I have big plans of spending the day at the pool again - provided it doesn't rain! Ah, how I love summer!
