Memorial Day

We got together with family yesterday and had a wonderful cookout with hot dogs, hamburgers and steamed crabs. Yummy. We got to see family that we haven't seen in a long time, some for almost a year, others we haven't seen in at least two years. One of my cousins is in the Navy, and was on leave from 2 years in Japan, and is heading back today for another 2 years, so we were fortunate to be able to see him and his family during the short time they were home. Miles was very impressed to meet a real captain of a ship. It was nice to have several of us cousins together at one time, with all of our kids there as well. As we always say, we really need to get together more often. And maybe one of these times we can get all of the cousins there, or at least more of us.

Here are a few pics:

Random family pics:
Miles swimming, this is the first time he has gotten brave enough to float by himself, and not only did he float by himself, but he swam (with the floaties) all over the pool. Once he figured out swimming on his own, he did not want to leave the pool:
