Memorial Day Weekend

Oh Memorial Day weekend--I'm so sad it's over!  We had such a great time, visiting with family and relaxing.  It went way too fast!
I didn't take a lot of pictures, but we got there Friday, went to breakfast Saturday morning (I haven't been out to breakfast in years and LOVED!  We need to do it more)  We had a BBQ at my brother's house with SO much yummy food!  The next day, we had a dinner at Grandpa D's house, then then next day we went over again and played all day and had a BBQ.  Of course--you can't forget the Reed's Dairy ice cream that is to die for!  Yum!

Also, Jeff, Zac and Grandpa all went and played a round of golf and the 
weather even cooperated (it rained hard every day but Monday)

This is Monday, these kids loved Grandpa's excavator.

 Scott was a little nervous, but decided to walk over to Grandpa and ask him for a ride in the excavator.
All of the kids got wind of it and all came running over and Grandpa gave everyone a ride!  Not a short ride either, he let each one have a long turn.  What a fun time!

 The kids and I stayed for a few days extra and Jeff had to head back to work.  We went to the park one day and rode bikes around the park, it was beautiful!  Here everyone was playing a game of Pooh Sticks.




 And if you ask Kate, her favorite thing about the whole weekend was probably holding this little dream of a baby--seriously the most perfect baby ever.  We all adored her!

Some other highlights include good times at Melissa and Zac's.  It rained a lot of the weekend but they totally kept us entertained (and very well fed!)  I missed Jeff when he left, but I cannot tell a lie, I loved playing some good Pinochle after the kids went to bed.  Especially when I shot the moon...  That was one good hand!  Thanks everyone for such a fun week in Idaho!
