Memorial Day weekend







Hello all! We had a pretty low key Memorial Day weekend, which turned out to be just perfect for us!! We hung out @ home on Saturday, went to the mall, ate at Olive Garden for lunch, took naps, played outside and swam, went and got ice cream from Sonic, and then came home for BED! it was a great day...very relaxing and enjoyable:)

On Sunday, we called Grandpa and Grandma Lansink to see what they were up to and decided to go down for the day...we got there and played outside, grilled some yummy lunch, and got 4 wheeler rides! Then we decided to venture on to Lake View, where Great Grandpa and Grandma Lansink were camping for the weekend!! The boys had tons of fun gathering sticks for them to burn in their campfire that evening, and they were also camping right by the swings, so we had to take our turns on them!! Very fun, we even went on a ride in Great Grandpa's truck to see the lake and all of the campgrounds:) FUN!!
After visiting for a while, we headed to Ida Grove to visit Great Grandpa and Grandma Spotts!! It was fun to visit with them and catch up...about this time Grandma Teresa was done with her dance lesson, so we decided to head to Pizza Hut for supper! Yummy...after all that, we headed back to G & G's house for some ICE CREAM! and got jammies on and headed home! What fun we had!!

On Monday, again we had no major plans, so we decided to call Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Kelly to see if we could drive down for a visit! They were home and didn't have plans either, so we drove down and played with them for a while, at lunch at the Legion Hall in Emerson, and then visited a little more before we headed home for naps! After naps, we grilled and then went for a nice family bikeride/walk on our trail!

We had so much fun visiting with everyone and just being together as a family! :)

I didn't take any pics, I have no idea why not! sorry! So I will put some on here of the kids helping Daddy with some dirt moving project that we are working on:) we got the gator involved and it worked really well! the kids got to help and not be in the way and Chris and I got most of the project done! Now just need to find a day to get some concrete in and get it poured so we have more of a patio for the kids to ride bikes on!!

Can't wait to see all of you again.

Love,
