Memorial Day 2012

Chris and Holly headed north to their Grandma Barbara's for 48 hours of R&R over Memorial Day weekend.  Like every year they got brand new porch swings with a few new toys attached to keep them busy during those long summer days.   Holly got a spiral swing and Chris got a round swing.  They were visibly excited when they laid eyes on their new swings and Holly even made a little noise that sounded like glee!

I put their cage top play area on the table and loaded it up with fresh water, nutriberries and some toys.

The first one enjoying the snacks was Holly, of course!

The weekend wasn't just about relaxing....the boys enjoyed an afternoon at the local Hunter Pace, where Grandma Barbara was a volunteer.  They met a lot of new people, saw some old friends and, naturally Chris was photographed just because he's Chris.

A highlight of the Hunter Pace was the adorable tea cup pig that was walking around.  Just like Chris s/he was wearing a harness.  For once Chris was not the most exotic animal at the venue.

Chris and Holly ended their mini-break with a trip to the exotics center for boarding this week while we have more painting.  But, they will be back in the country and on their porch swings very soon.
