Memorial Day Weekend

It was a busy start to our long weekend. Our apartment complex held their annual Continental Breakfast over at the clubhouse this morning. As always we weren't disappointed by the delicious spread of food they provided for us. On the way back to our apartment, we noticed the lifeguard prepping the pool for its' grand opening. We had exactly 10 minutes to rush home and get changed before it officially opened. Once we arrived however, we found out we had a little while more to wait before we could go in. Tyler had been talking forever about wanting to be the first one in the pool. Unfortunately, he was beat by another boy only by about 30 seconds. Oh well, he was excited to try out his new life vest and board the Easter Bunny brought him. He only had the life vest on a short time before taking it off and swimming without it. We were only at the pool for about an hour before we received a call from Trevor's grandmother saying they arrived in Virginia Beach.

A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from her saying they would be in the area during the holiday weekend. Some of you may recall from way back when we lived in Maryland, Tyler had a best friend from preschool named Trevor. Tyler and Trevor were the best of friends often having play dates together. Over the years we still kept in touch and his grandmother suggested that this weekend since they would be in the area that we get the boys together and see how they react to each other after not seeing each other for about three years. Of course, we were delighted to get together. Tyler couldn't wait to see his buddy as he often talked about Trevor and the big trampoline he had in his backyard. We met Trevor and the rest of the family at Virginia Beach. The boys got reacquainted while playing together in the sand and water. Meanwhile it was nice to get caught up with Trevor's grandmother and rest of the family. We stayed for a couple of hours and they wanted us to go out for dinner with them, however I forgot Tyler's change of clothes and he was covered in sand. We are going to meet again for dinner tomorrow before they return to Maryland.
