Backyard BBQ.

Sunday (the most beautiful day ever) Dennis, Michael and I opened the summer with a few hours at the Darien Swim and Racquet Club before heading over to Chris and Gail's for a backyard BBQ to wrap up the birthday celebration for GGD.  The weather was stunning, the food was marvelous and the candles were burning.  It was the perfect way to celebrate Great-Grandpa Dick's 80 years!!  Thanks to Chris and Gail for hosting everyone.


It's SUMMER!




Cooling off with a beverage.




Bags.

A plethora of Pirics'.

Off To the Races.

We spent Saturday of Grandpa Dick's 80th Birthday Extravaganza at the race track.  Michael loved the horses, but hated the heat.  We weren't there very long to say the least, and Dennis didn't win a bet.


It was a beautiful day!


Den was betting...


Michael was hot...


And nobody won.

Don't Judge Us.

This might be a little, oh, how do I say it... CLASSLESS!!  But, we don't care.

Baby pool appropriately placed on the driveway... CHECK.

Cocktails for those who can enjoy them... CHECK.

Three gallons of sunscreen for Mikey... CHECK.

Oil for Mommy... CHECK!

What a beautiful (HOT) day.  We spent (almost) all of it outside.  We can even thank Gramma for bringing the TV out so we could watch the Blackhawks sweep the Sharks for their spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs!!  WooT!  A great Sunday.


Testing the water.


Excited to be in.


Questioning his excitement.


Content with his decision.


Maybe not.


Look at those paws.
(Don't worry, I had dunked him in sunscreen.)


Wading through the deep end.


Ooh, a boat.


The gallery.


Here boaty, boaty, boaty.


Gotcha.


There are bubbles in the air, in the air...


Ok, I'm done.


Sunscreen faux-hawk.


Dad, what are these?


I don't mind if I do.
