HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL OF THE WONDERFUL DADS OUT THERE!!

 We had a wonderful Memorial weekend!

On Sunday, we went to my grandparents & visited with them, my aunt & uncle & Uncle Rocco.. It was a nice day!

The guys did some landscaping at grandma's..

Grandma has very rough soil (clay), so it is hard to work with..

Grandpa, dad, Uncle Wayne & Anthony played a few games of Bocce Ball..

They had the Godfather cd soundtrack playing in the backround.. It was quite funny!

Grandpa & dad were on one team..

Uncle Wayne & Anthony were on the other..

Inside, we were looking through old photo albums..

Jess, grandma, Uncle Rocco & Aunt Jan..

It's always nice to reminisce..

On Sunday, we had my grandparents over for a BBQ.. I didn't get too many pictures, though..

Every Memorial Day, I wear this necklace. It belonged to my great grandmother. I believe she got it from my great grandfather, who was in the Navy (he's pictured below)

Me & Bing hangin' out before the party..

The table was set for the occasion..

Dad was the grillmaster..

We had turkey brats & hot dogs..

Pasta salad..

Pineapple salad..

Those were the only pictures I got! We had a good day, though!

Hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day, too!
