Living the Good Life: Memorial Day

After Rob finished his brutal marathon week of the Law Review competition (multiply above picture by an average of 16 hours/day for 6 straight days), we packed up and drove down to Connecticut for some well deserved R&R before our trip to Brazil.

We helped celebrate my mom's birthday with a barbeque and one of Costco's to-die-for huge chocolate cakes. We played in the park, went for a pleasure drive around New Canaan, then went on a Memorial Day afternoon boat cruise. (Life can be rough sometimes!)

Here we are waiting for the little boat/shuttle to take us out to the real boat. From left to right is Matt Sparks (my sister's friend), Katie, my mom, my dad, and me! Rob did a wonderful job being Mr. Photographer and got some great pictures of the trip.

We're enjoying sunshine, the warmest breeze of the season thus far, and some really good cheese and crackers.

The Schneiber Girls having some fun in the sun...unfortunately, Jacqueline couldn't be with us because she was driving home from Youth Conference in Kirtland, Ohio.

Our hosts told us that you can get great pictures from the bow of the boat...so, of course, we all had to go and pose.


Life is good!

Man, that looks beautiful... Sounds like law school is rough. I'm glad you are doing it so if I get in trouble I can call and get some advice. ;) We miss you guys!!
