Mom and Dad have been extremely busy the past few months and with weekend soccer, birthday parties, etc.. we haven't had much time to slow down and do more family activities. So we planned a jam-packed Memorial Day Weekend. It started with a date night for mom and dad to celebrate our 9 year wedding anniversary. The next morning we all went strawberry picking at a farm south of town. The boys had a blast and Carter declared "Strawberry picking his favorite season of the year." The boys came home with a huge amount of strawberries (minus a few which somehow disappeared in the car).
After naps we fit in some water table time.
Saturday evening we headed to the pool for a pizza party and swimming evening with a group of neighborhood friends. The boys had a blast and we had to drag Parker away!
The next morning, Parker made a few calls to Mimi and Uncle Reido to invite them to his restaurant for breakfast while dad got started on his own restaurant-fare for the day with the smoker.
Then after a trip to the store for supplies, the boys set up their house for the night... a backyard tent. That evening, everyone enjoyed some smore's at the camp fire (Carter's request) before the boys settled in for bed. They slept all night in the tent! And have made plans to do it again.
The boys got in a little art project before the weekend was out with some help from Dad and with little sis in mind.
And of course there was more time at the pool ;)
Happy Memorial Day everyone. Hope you also had a great weekend enjoying all the wonderful opportunities we have, remembering those who have sacrificed so we can have them, and appreciating the extra family time.
