Memorial Weekend 2009

Sunday Allan and I drove down to the bay house, or as I like to call it - the bay yard (thanks Ike). This was really Allan's first time to play down there. He was too little last year to go swimming in the water, so he just swam in Mimi and Papa's pool. Allan has been to the bay house before, but he'll never remember it. All he'll know now is a large lot we have right on the water. (Thanks again, Ike.) But our family made the best out of it. Ike didn't get to put a damper on our Memorial weekend. We still got to hang out with family, eat yummy BBQ, and the kids got to wear off some energy in the bay.






Thanks to Uncle Dorian, Allan got to play in a little pool instead of going in the water with the bigger kids. He thought he was big stuff playing in the water with some of Mimi's plastic dishes.












Ryan came to join Allan in the pool with a big splash. Ryan jumped right on in. Allan watched with amazement. Allan's been trying his hardest to jump, but he just can't seem to get his feet off the ground yet. Allan and Ryan had fun in the pool.

You'd be surprised at how entertaining a bottle of sun block can be to a 19 month old.

Then the rain starting coming. Luckily Mimi and Papa had their trailer parked at the bay yard. We ran in and took for cover. Allan's cousin Kennedy took charge in watching Allan. She followed him all over the trailer. She'd pick him up, put him down where she thought he needed to be and she'd carry him from one spot to the next. Allan didn't seem to mind one bit.

Papa taught Allan how to climb and stand on the table.
Thanks Papa.

The rain finally stopped, so back outside we went.

Allan is telling something to Kennedy that is very important.

Leave it to the boy to find a beer can...

...or two.

His daddy must be proud.
