Memorial Day Weekend

Another year...
Another Memorial Day weekend...
Another great vacation!

It was a hot weekend, so we decided to fill up Colden's baby pool so that he could go swimming and cool off.

He loved splashing around...


But didn't exactly like getting into the pool itself...
 


At least not while there was water in the pool.


Instead of getting IN the cold water, we thought that maybe he would like it better ON the cold water - so we took Colden on his first boat ride.




Surprisingly, he didn't mind the life jacket.  And perhaps, not so surprisingly - he loved the boat ride!

After we were done with the water activities, Colden and my dad gave everyone a little concert.  Colden taught my dad how to play a pot:


And my dad taught Colden how to play the accordion:


 I think Colden's favorite activity the whole weekend was playing with his purple chair.  It was the perfect size!
 ...for wrestling


 ...for sitting




...and for stacking water bottles on.


I think everyone had a great long weekend!

Take a look back to see Colden's first annual trip down to the lake for Memorial Day weekend.  A lot has changed since then!

Looking forward to many, many more!
