Happy Memorial Day!

First of all, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY weekend!!!! I hope you have been enjoying the FABULOUS weather we have had! I remember how excited I was for this time of year when I was little because we would join a localish pool in order for my brother, sister and I to be on the swim team and this weekend would be the opening weekend of all the summer pools. These days, I wonder how to get myself into a refreshing puddle of water and have considered purchasing a baby pool just so I can be able to relive that wonderful feeling that I grew up with. šŸ˜‰ Reality, I just wait until I get to the beach sometime during the summer to get my tan on and jump into a body of water! Looking forward to when July comes for me to do that!!! šŸ™‚

Anyways, here are some previews from this holiday weekend! Looking forward to sharing these sessions with you this week! Yay!!! Happy Memorial Day!
