When Memorial Day rolled around, we were ready for the unofficial start to summer. We filled the long weekend with every summery activity we could think of...
We started with strawberry picking despite the many complaints from my children. I only convinced them to go when I said I'd make a strawberry dessert with our haul. Of course once they were there, they totally got into it...
Good berries this year...
Addie being Addie.... :)
Next up? Emma's birthday party! The girls were very excited because not only did Emma have a giant bounce house in her backyard...
she also had a trampoline. Which made Emma's backyard WAY cooler than our backyard. :)
Saturday night plans? Believe it or not, Brian and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary! We had a delicious dinner at Mandolin, and the kids got Aunt Alli as a babysitter. :)
On Sunday, we made sure our house was appropriately patriotic...
before we headed to the pool with the Moores.
And the grand finale for the long weekend? Collins's first sleepover! Bennett invited her over for a slumber party, and she was beyond thrilled. She had been asking for a long time to have a sleep-over and a lot of her other friends had done had one, so we thought it was the right time. We all went over for a cookout at the Flynns and then Collins just stayed. She didn't seem nervous at all.
Pictures Alex sent...adorable!
She had a great time, but did not get a lot of sleep. She came back home excited for the next one!
On the actual Memorial Day holiday, we did absolutely NOTHING. We were far too ambitious the rest of the weekend. But man, what a start to summer!
