Memorial Day Weekend

The kickoff to summer is here, and what a weekend it has been! We pretty much have been running all weekend, and we are all pretty pooped.

John has some extended family in town from Nashville, so we ate supper with them on Wednesday night, and then we had a grill out at Johnny and Kristina's house on Friday night. The kids had a blast playing with little Johnny and Anna, while the adults had a chance to catch up. It was nice to visit with Erica and Bert, and meet Kalen, their 9 month old son. We ended up staying out until around 9:30pm, and our poor kids weren't in bed until after 10 pm.

Saturday was another really busy day. We started it off with a trip to Costco and some errands. After some naps, we headed to the zoo to see the new Koala bears. They were pretty cute, but they slept the entire time we saw them. Apparently, they sleep 18-22 hours a day, so they are pretty exciting animals. We walked the rest of the zoo, and the kids had a great time. After the zoo, we headed to Jim and Barb's for some supper and a campfire.

We grilled some brats, ate some supper, and then helped the kids make some smores. It was pretty adorable, and the kids had a great time. But, once again we left late, and it was 10 pm before the kids were asleep. Whoops.

Sunday was another good day. We spent the morning cleaning up, doing laundry, and just tidying up the house. After lunch, we headed to Brookings for Katie's Graduation Party. We helped set up and get the food ready, and then stayed for the duration of the party, from 4-7pm. It was pretty fun. I visited and caught up with some of the family, but mostly I just played with and kept the kids entertained. There were a lot of Brookings peopled I didn't know there though. It is pretty crazy that Katie graduated from High School already, that sure went quick! We made a point to leave shortly after 7pm and got the kids home and to bed a little earlier.

Today was actually Memorial Day, and we had some of John's extended family over for a grill out and bean bag tournament. It was another good opportunity to see everyone, and we all had a pretty good time.

So, like I said our weekend was crazy busy, and it was over in a flash. The kids are both super crabby, and we are winding down with the movie, Moana, right now. It's a pretty cute movie, but mostly I am excited to get these kids to sleep, and just relax for a while. I am so not ready to go back to work tomorrow!!
