NJ Memorial Day Weekend

We got to go down to my parent's house for Memorial Day weekend this year, and had a blast.  It was a nice little break and so fun to be able to spend time with family.  It was so cold at the beginning of the weekend, but warmed up nicely toward the end.  Here are a few pictures that we snapped over the weekend!
At Uncle Evan's baseball game.  So fun... and sooooo cold!
James loved the baseball too.
Here is Evan at the plate
My parents had worked hard to get the pool all ready and warmed up for us.
Despite the fact that it was a little chilly, Evan, Alan and Grandpa all got to go for a good swim.
James mostly napped during swimming time and was content to watch when he woke up.  Which was great, because it was just a little too cold for mama to get in with him. :)
Scott got this photo.  One of the cutest ever, in my opinion.
He was super excited to play baseball with his uncles.
We also got to play some ladderball.  Not the greatest pic, but it was a ton of fun!
And the boys LOVE swinging.  I love Alan's face here.
And Jamesy's face here. :)
One of the best things about Memorial Day in NJ is the Medford Parade.  Love this pic of Alan and Uncle Evan waiting for the parade to come.
James loved to wave at the cars and trucks.
And eat lollipops.
My dad drove my grandpa's '54 Chevy in the parade as usual.  Here are the boys running to jump in for the ride.
I didn't get very good pics.  They were all dark.  But here's Alan, as you can't see him in this next one.
And here is the much better picture taken by Brother Hawkins.
And here we are standing by my grandpa's grave.
All in all a very fun memorial day weekend.  The boys were great, we didn't have traffic, and we had a blast. Thanks Mom and Dad for having us and hopefully we make it down there again to do some swimming in warmer weather soon!
