Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day is holiday where we honor those who served in the military who gave their lives so that we can be free.  I'm so grateful that we live in a free country where I can spend quality time with my family.  We often forget what this holiday means, so I'm taking a few minutes to pay tribute on my blog.
To start the weekend off, We went to check out the new Mesa High pool.  We watched this pool being built on the way to and from Mesa High.  It was great to finally walk through the doors to the pool.  There is a lazy river, a small child section, and a deep end. The lazy river was a hit, but the kids didn't find anywhere to swim. Emily is a good swimmer, but doesn't feel comfortable in the 7 ft section.   Emily loved wearing the life jacket, but you can't swim underwater with it.

Monday night, we went to the Riverview Park, where Angela and Emily climbed what they call the Eiffel Tower.  It was fun to watch them climb and see their confidence get stronger the closer they got to the middle.  The park was really busy and it was getting hot, so we stayed for about an hour and headed home.  We will have to go again when it's not a holiday.
