Memorial Day Weekend 2010 - Busy, Busy, Busy - Pool opening, PU P-rade, More Pool Time, Fireworks, More Pool

This Japanese drum belongs down in the middle of the P-rade shots but, I accidentally deleted it from that spot so put it back in 'cause I wanted to display it. The size is unbelievable. Sound unbeatable. haha
One of Anita's first shots at the pool this Memorial Day weekend.
For those of you who know of Blubby from last year. This ball is destined to be Blubby II, 2010.
Antonio going for the gusto.
Beginning of the P-rade. Princeton Univ. reunion weekend coincided with Memorial Day Weekend this year. I love to attend the P-rade. I did not stick it out for the 3 1/2 hours however as folks were getting sloppy drunk and I decided we should leave when a can of beer splashed on me. Ewwww. Anyway, we were heading to the pool and picking up Stacy along the way after she got out of work.
The first Alumnus and the beginning of the Old Guard was from the class of 1925. Awesome!
I especially liked the outfits of this class. Every class has a Jacket or a complete suit that is worn from the year of graduation. Some are very interesting. It's fun to see them walking around Princeton.
This was my favorite performance of the parade. Japanese drummers and dancers. The huge drum being transported on a truck is shown above. Accidentally deleted it from this spot. They were awesome!!!!!
The Japanese dancers. So graceful.
Never saw these before. Looks like fun.
Even the dogs got into the spirit of the P-rade.
The highlight of the P-rade for Anita.....A VW bus. Yay!!!!! Anita is banking money so she can buy herself a VW bus when she gets her license.
This is a total party parade. The alcohol was everywhere. I heard that some of the old guys had to be rescued from the field, where the fireworks were held, as they were totally wasted. I believe they were found the next day. Ouch.
Flamingoes are a new theme around Princeton. I've read that you can order flamingoes to be delivered to people's lawns. I thought this was ingenious.
Letting Stacy know we are on the way home from the P-rade and heading to pick her up to go to the pool. It was hot. Whew!
More flamingoes!!!!! I posed too but, I thought Antonio did this best.
One of the cool trees on the way to the pool. Anita and Antonio actually posed in several of them.
Yayyyyyy. We finally get to cool off. Me and Anita. Water felt great.
Sun is bright but great for sunning oneself. The water was fiiiiiine!
Anita shading herself with the new Blubby.
I swear this boy should be a model. He's a natural. You're beautiful Antonio (in a handsome way.)
The first pool pose of the 2010 season. Cute!!!!!
Stacy showing off her cuteness.
A cool shot of the fireworks. It turns out if we don't use the flash, we get some awesome shots. The fireworks were on Saturday night, part of the Reunion Weekend events. We always attend these fireworks. The music this year was great. The fireworks were actually disappointing to the four of us. Don't know for sure what was off with them.
