Memorial Weekend...pool party and beach x 2

Memorial weekend was the perfect kick-off to summer. We spent our Saturday at the Tollack's annual pool party, which was an absolute blast. The weather was perfect, the food was delicious, the kids had so much fun running in the grass and playing in the pool, and the drinks were flowing for the adults who were laughing and having way too much fun. Instead of the usual "Whispering Smith" (aka "Sneak Attack Morrisons") that we usually make, we made a new cocktail to share called a "Skip and Go Naked". We have tried them before, but never made them ourselves. They were a hit and I was jealous I couldn't try one...next year. :)

On Saturday we went to the beach with the Riese and Pascal families. The sun was shining, but it was a little windy on the sand, so we played for a couple hours and had our picnic lunch and then came back to our house for jump house fun and a BBQ. 

Sunday was a perfect beach day and we spent the whole day at the beach with the Tiltons, Rieses, and Reeves and other "friends of friends" that joined us. Adam has started bringing a big shovel with us each time we go so that he can dig a huge hole (or 2 or 10) for the kids to play in. They have so much fun with it! The water was so nice and I spent a lot of time swimming in the waves--my favorite, especially when I am pregnant. After the beach we went to a friend's house for another BBQ and some jacuzzi fun.
