Memorial Day Weekend

The weather was perfect this Memorial Day weekend and we had a free weekend so we packed up the kids and headed to Cleveland for a visit.  We split our time between the Holicks and the Taylors and had a nice visit with each.  Unfortunately, Eric was sick most of Friday and Saturday morning and I was fighting something off as well but we still managed to have a good time.  I neglected to take any pictures while we were up there but our time was full of fun with the grandparents, a visit with Tooney, golf cart rides, fishing, and a trip to my dad's new country club for lunch and a swim!

The one picture I took in Cleveland...she was sound asleep within 5 minutes on our return trip home.  Sign of a good time!

We left Cleveland on Sunday because Nolan and Eric were walking in the Memorial Day parade on Monday with his baseball team.  This was before the parade, complete with a baseball stance.

Quinn and I dropped the boys off and then picked a spot to patiently wait for the parade to start.  Thank goodness for Kona Ice because the wait ended up to be about 45 minutes!

Our friends, Phil and Taylor, met up with us.  They have a little girl, Josie, who is Quinn's age so the two girls had fun eating candy and sno cones and waving to all of the parade people.

Nolan and Eric were towards the end of the parade so it was definitely exciting to see them by the time they rolled around.  Nolan had so much fun and was very excited to throw candy out to the viewers.  Before walking in the parade he told me that he was only going to give each person "1 piece of candy each."  Very democratic.

Quinn was so excited to see them but was not happy that she couldn't walk with them the rest of the parade.  

The boys finished up their route and then met us at the pool.  It was a hot day so we spend a few hours at the pool and then headed home for naps, dinner, and some ice cream.

By the end of their busy weekend they were both exhausted!!  

It was a fun weekend to kick off the beginning of summer!
