Memorial Day-Yeah It's Summer

What better way to celebrate the end of a wet and weird spring and the beginning of a hot and humid summer than with a pool party at Nana's house. After I clawed my way out of the workplace, we headed over to soak in Zoe's new star-shaped pool. It's nice and big with room for a large mama to soak with her teeny baby girl. Storms threatened to show up in the afternoon, but nothing ever arrived. More pool time for us!

Such a little lady

She seemed a bit skeptical in the beginning but once I climbed in, she was good to go.

A little shape sorting

oh and tasting



Nana made some homemade popsicle that just couldn't wait until pool time was over.
I couldn't get her to understand that putting the popsicle in the water made it melt so we swam in berry water. Some things are better left alone.

After swimming, we started the BBQ and in no time, we were eating steak and corn on the cob. Debbie made lemon meringue pie for dessert and Zoe helped herself to the beaters before the final pie was served.

Beaters are the best

The best treat of the day would have to be the traffic on the way back to Brooklyn. I am always prepared for the worst on holiday weekends but we sailed home. A welcomed surprise after a long week. Hey, what can I say. I'm easy to please.
