A 3 Day Weekend!!!!

I just love Memorial Day weekend! I love a 3 day-er any time but this one kicks off the summer for me, signals that work is nearly through and I will be getting some well-deserved free time. The Air Show at Jone's Beach is this weekend and I always go with Jami and the boys - it's like the annual weekend kick off. Shane, who is 5 and a half now, has gone from screaming blue murder when he sees the paratroopers (thinking that it was the Green Goblin with Pumpkin Bombs, going to kill us all!) to spotting them in the sky and saying that's what he wants to do when he is grown up - either that or fly one of the jets! We were truly blessed with the weather, which was supposed to be overcast and rainy - a last minute wind shift and it was sunny and gorgeous, but very cool and windy as heck. I have the sunburn to prove it. The ocean was so cold that your feet cramped the minute they touched the water - even Aidan only jumped in and out for a minute - the sea was so rough because of the wind and I bet it was 45 degrees at most!

Along with others, the Thunderbirds performed (they alternate with the Blue Angels) and they were incredible but I think that the Canadian Snow Birds stole the show this year. It's really good knowing we have such wonderful allies to the north. I am off to church and then to a BBQ, but I'll leave you with this very cool photo.
