Memorial Day Noonan Style

We had a total chill-out day. The boys were served breakfast in bed while they watched cartoons (those two things never happen, so it was a huge treat.) After breakfast, Bob announced that kayaking was the event of the day. No complaints from Tonia or Liam, so we were off...

Our rig ready to roll.

Liam loves to fish.

Bob and Liam are doing an experiment. They placed a nickle on the tracks. We are going to go back next week to see if it is still there, and if it is, to see what may have happened.

Getting ready to go home. He was a little upset that he couldn't fish anymore.

A cute little family we saw on our way home.

Liam is such a big help!

Once we got home we took a dip, made a nice fire, and bbq'd some salmon and veggies. It was such a beautiful day, we hated having to come in after dinner.

Prep for the Boys

In the living room, mommy set-up Liam's schedule, cloths, school snacks, lunches, notes, sports equipment, and hockey registration for the boys. More notes, meals, and routines (Liam likes his routines) can be found in the kitchen. Bobby asked what happens if Tonia's flight is delayed by a day.

Some Happenings on Carlton Road

The boys have started a garden. They are growing carrots, beats (Liam's favorites), peas, onions, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, and strawberries. They are also on the hunt for a blueberry bush.

Liam and Bob after dinner last night. The ice cream man came around so they each got a treat, as you might be able to tell from their green and blue mouths.

This afternoon, Liam and Bobby were watching some Dude Flick, so Tonia took advantage of the time to get a ride in. She decided to watch a Chic Flick.

And the first one in is...

...freezing Tonia taking the first dip. It's only about 50 degrees.

She could only take two laps at a time before she had to take a shore-break.

Liam would not believe his parents that the water was cold. He put on a bathing suit and rash guard and jumped in. First words out of his mouth...

..."it's FREEZING!!!!!!!!"

Needless to say, it was the end of Liam's swimming.

It's that time of year again...

Yes, it's true...we are opening the pool. Four weeks earlier than last year! The contest is on as to which Noonan will be the first in this season. Liam and Tonia both hold titles. Bobby says he's going for it this season.

Stay tuned for the annual wetsuit photos. And, of course the yearly photos of Bobby in scuba gear.
