Sunday evening was a concert in the bandshell. It was a throw-back to the music and dance of the 1920's, complete with phrases like "bee's knees, cat's pajamas, and hotsy totsy".
Chloe loved the concert. She made her way through our bag of popcorn in record time, giving away sweaty handfuls of popcorn to all the people sitting close by.
The next day, Memorial Day, shone bright and clear. The parade was the highlight of the morning. The lady on the right of me in this picture did not stop talking the entire time. I finally switched seats with Paul because I couldn't take it any longer!
I love this picture because of the beautiful sky and the red balloon in the foreground. Our church handed out these balloons, which have these words printed on them "Lest We Forget".
Here are some parade participants - the dog dressed as a butterfly...
...the old jalopy...
... the (very loud) racecar...
...the float from the college football hall of fame.
Driving home we passed this site, which speaks for itself.
Once home, we brought out the pool for the first time this summer. Chloe was waiting with great anticipation.
Filling up the pool.
My handsome husband soaking in the rays.
I had to take this picture - Chloe ended up getting wetter than she liked - especially in the freezing water!
This is Paul doing a cannonball into the pool. If you look closely on the side of the pool, you will see a picture with the words "No Jumping". Hmmm...
Noah and Olivia's friend Carmen was over too. I love this picture of childhood fun - not a care in the world, going through life with a good friend and a bag of Doritos.

Great pictures! Love the one of Chloe crying and I also love her pigtails- cute!
What fun! Thanks for sharing the pictures. We loved them. Maybe we can share that sometime. Love you all!
Looks like you had a great weekend!! It also looks warm in your town. We are still dressing in layers :)
LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the pictures. I especially like the pool pictures!! Looks like you all enjoyed Memorial weekend. We missed you, but it is always nice to have some days at home. Speaking of home....are you headed to MN anytime soon? A little birdie told me maybe the end of June??? Do you have room for me?:) I'll call ya soon!
Jill! I love those pictures. You did a perfect job capturing the moments! Thanks for posting. I fail to keep up because I'm on FB so much more now a days. Don't you just love patriotic holidays? I do! Love ya!
That looks like such a neat celebration. That is so funny about you having to move. I had a similar situation when I was at Ellie's skating practice. I asked my dad how I always have people talking and telling their life story to me. We must just have friendly faces!:)
My two favorite pictures are Chloe running from the pool and Noah with his friend. How precious!
I love this post, Jill.....that is just too funny about the lady who talked too much (I can just picture it), Chloe's crying picture is priceless, and Paul's canonball -- was his behind sore the next day?!?!
