Memorial Day


We had lots of fun this Memorial Day weekend! It all started Saturday morning, at Torcaso Park. If you haven't been yet, you should really go. It's a very quiet park in Winter Springs. What makes it fun is it not only has a play area, but a fountain, which is something most toddlers love! Myles, Daddy and I had a ball as the only three people running around in the fountain for about 45 minutes. Once he'd had enough, we played on the playground until it was a little too hot for comfort. It was a great morning and once again, free. Do you see a pattern with me?

On Sunday, after a very busy morning completing tons of errands, we finally headed to Ocala to Meme and Papa's house at around 2 p.m. Myles had been begging all morning to go. He knew it was Sunday and that was the day we were going. We played in the pool for well over an hour and had a nice dinner that night. We watched Disney Cars (of course) and called it a night. 

On Monday, we had a BBQ planned by the pool. We spent lots of time swimming again; for a while just me and Myles. We played and played, took a short snooze and then spent some time outside with family. It was lots of fun for our boy, as EVERYONE was around...Mommy, Daddy, Meme, Papa, Gramma Mac, Aunt Jayme, Uncle Justin and Shannon. Jayme had just celebrated her birthday on the 23rd so we had some cake after we ate grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, potato salad and whatever else we could stuff in our bellies. These holiday weekends are perfect times to reconnect with family and spend time outdoors. It helps to have a pool to enjoy, especially in the Florida heat. Now it's back to the routine!
