Highlights I want to remember:

• Being in my swimsuit all weekend long and feeling just slightly tan.
• Lounging in the languid, warm pool (just like in Temecula!)
• Jude, discovering the sprinklers for the first time and opening his mouth wide to taste the water
• Sitting with my mom in the piano room, watching her hold J and feed him cinnamon rolls
• Baby cardinals in their nest just outside the window
• Simon and Eric’s bike ride up to POPS in Arcadia (39 miles round trip! Go S!)
• Lunch at the Spicy Pickle in Edmond, followed up with OrangeTree fro yo
• Iced tea and limeade punch. Not together, though.
• Simon’s yummmmm hamburgers and delicious cream cheese cake w/ fruit filling
• Jude’s 2nd blowout while only in his 2nd time swimming in the pool. And subsequent hose-down in the grass. 
• Cousins sleeping all together on pallets at Grandmother & Grandaddy’s
• Queso.
• Sudden rain storms out of nowhere, and everybody sprinting from the pool for their towels. Thunder and lightning quickly follow, confirming our need to exit the pool w/ haste.
• The mass consumption of popsicles by the whole clan while bobbing in the pool on Monday. 
• This conversation overheard between Amy & Matthew about consumption of popsicles. “How many have you had, Matthew?”  “Oh, Mom, only six so far.”  !!!  🙂

I hope your Memorial Day weekend was fun and relaxing! Summer, we welcome you!
