Memorial Day Pool Marathon

On Memorial Day, we spent 6 hours at the neighborhood pool.
We had such a great time relaxing & just being together.

Rod showed off some serious moves on the diving board
 

Savannah worked on her swimming skills
 

Savannah, Dre & Ciena had a tea party
 

At the end of the day, I pulled out a box of grapes. I had to laugh when Savannah, who was sitting on my lap, began peeling her grapes. I was instantly transported to my own childhood...remembering long, lazy summer days...days when there was absolutely NOTHING better to do than PEEL GRAPES. I love it.

It's just beyond joyful to see my children experiencing life & to re-live some of my own childhood moments through them.

Wow Rod-- those are some sweet moves. I'm thinking diving could be your thing!

And Jen, I never knew people peeled grapes... I'm going to try that next time I'm at the pool! :)

Love the action shot! But seriously, how many times did he have to flip before you caught it perfectly?
