Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend was so much fun.  
The weather was absolutely gorgeous, so we spent it outside with great friends!

After school on Friday, I took the boys to the Strawberry patch.  Not to pick strawberries, but to play at the farm with duck races, mazes and sandboxes - and enjoy strawberry slushies, of course!
 On Saturday morning we went to a local park.  
After playing at the playground, we went for a picnic lunch by the lake
 and then played some more in the sand.

 Good Scoop, Sully - now do NOT throw the sand!!
 After church on Sunday, we went to Nannie and Pop Pop's house.  Mom made a delicious spaghetti and meatball lunch followed by everyone's favorite desserts (cupcakes, carrot cake AND cookies!)

We love this picture of the boys, curled up on the couch after lunch, playing with the iphone.
After lunch, we went to the tennis courts and Pop Pop began to teach the boys how to play, while Gill and I were able to volley a bit.  it was great fun.  We ended our visit with a trip to the playground.
 
At night, after the boys went to bed, Gill fired up the grill and made a delicious mexican bbq dinner and lots of margaritas for us and our neighbors.  

This morning, we met the Pluchos family at the playground.  With Chris and Gill there to help, Melissa and I did not feel so outnumbered.  It was nice to have the families together and I'm sorry we didn't get a picture.  Patrick and Finnegan really enjoyed seeing Athena & Sebastian and "helping" to take care of them.  I know we'll get more opportunities to do so this summer.

The Whites had us over tonight for an awesome Memorial Day BBQ.  The kids had a blast playing in their playroom and outside at the water table.  Kevin and Jenny made a delicious dinner and sweet Charlotte made special worm and dirt dessert, which we all loved, especially the boys!

 Not a great picture, but we did get all 5 kids!
 It was a wonderful weekend - Happy Memorial Day!
