Long weekend

Saturday the boys went to their friend Tahir's party. Tahir has been one of their favorites since the start of school, but one thing that never came up was that Tahir was in their class when they were 3, at the Most Holy Rosary. There was a year in between when they weren't together, and didn't see each other, but it took until his parents and I were talking at his party Saturday that we realized they were in the same class two years ago. Everyone had a blast at Billy Beez at the mall.

Sunday the boys had another birthday party, for their friend Owen, so we went to the zoo first to enjoy the sunshine.

Monday morning we met Mama Sara and Preston in Camillus for the Memorial Day parade. It started out drizzling and ended up absolutely pouring, but there was not a single complaint from any of the boys. Their favorites were the marching bands, the geico gecko, Star Wars guys, and CANDY! Which was quite wet but still tasty, apparently. Mama's favorite part was not having to march in the parade herself, unlike last year. The best and most candy the boys got was actually from one of Jeff's opponents from last year, who stopped to chat with his wife for a moment.

For some reason my phone's camera disembodied the gecko.
