Memorial Day at Lake Gaston

Tyler has been hard at work getting introduced to various bodies of water over the past three weekends. First it was the pool... then the beach... and finally for Memorial Day we visited Auntie Barbie's lakehouse!! Everyone had a wonderful time (but we missed having Justin with us- who was having fun of his own in Puerto Rico)! The babies are growing amazingly fast! We are having frequent playdates, trying to make sure Winston and Tyler are lifelong friends- just like their parents.

Ooohhh!!!! The lake water is still VERY cold at this time of year. Maybe we'll enjoy it more next time...

The day is winding down for the little ones!

On Sunday we broke out Tyler's American flag swim trunks to celebrate Memorial Day!!

Dad had to wear his 2009 UNC basketball champions t-shirt to rub it in the face of the NC State men in the houes (not so nice!)

Tyler's "war paint" (aka, sunscreen) before mom rubbed it in!!

Having a blast in Winston's bouncy seat.

Why is it that kids always like other people's toys better than their own??

Tyler, chillin' with dad on the deck, grillin' hot dogs for Memorial Day, getting early lessons on how to be a man :)
