Memorial Day

The past 4 days were just me and my boy spending time with friends and swimming in our freezing cold pool. Nothing like 4 days off work with no set plans to leave a girl feeling relaxed. Thank God the rain finally stopped long enough for us to enjoy the back yard, and I have about 20 mosquito bites to prove it...including one on the palm of my hand...WTH?!?!

Today I decided I'd grab my camera and take lil man on a walk to the park. I love all the flags posted up in my neighborhood. I talked to my son about the meaning of the day, he's too young to grasp it but never too early to start and hearing him repeat all my words as he tries to understand always brings a smile to my face. After a few trips down the slide and a run around the grass we found our way at the bridge over Laguna creek looking for tadpoles and frogs. They are hard to find...but we managed to discover thier hiding spots! The birds over the creek were going nuts! I have no idea why...but it was cool to watch. Days like this really make me wish I was a stay at home mom.

Hope you enjoy my day in pictures:

No better way to start the day than orange marmalade on an english muffin
