Memorial Day Weekend

Well, we ended up with a "stay-cation" this year. Memorial Day weekend wasn't planned for anything super fabulous.....but we sure did end of having a TON of fun! Friday night, Andrew and I went out for a little grown up time. We had dinner and a movie with some good friends. (Ladies....unless you're really into action....send your man with a buddy to see Terminator!) Saturday, we planned a mini fishing trip with some good friends and family. It was a beautiful vision in my mind....kids playing in the water, men fishing, women making dinner and tending to the little ones. Uh, not so much....mostly it was a lot of running from mosquitos, and leaving early. Oh well, it was worth a shot! Sunday we took a quick trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house. I wanted to leave town, and enjoy some fresh mountain air. And that's exactly what we did!! My favorite part was how cool it was in the canyon. Smelled good, kids got to run, get dirty, and Grandpa lit a fire in the pit. Gotta love roasting marshmallows and hot dogs! Kids were pooped, I'm pooped, so here's a few pics........I'm outta here.

(Abryn..so serious. Totally convinced that he's really "fishing" with the plastic fish on the end of the reel while John, Branson, and Austin wait and watch.)
Andrew..slim and trim..loading up a pole for some fishing time.
The kids ran off to go fishing while the grown ups finished their dinner. Such a cute little group.
Our friend Gary, caught him in a surprise moment.
His boys, John and Jake. We love having them around!
And of course...Crickette....everyone's favorite buddy.
Silly Ashlan! Look at how big she can open her mouth!?!
Kaylee, Amiah, and Branson...guarding the chips of course!
Look mom! No hands! Abryn balances on this tree.
Austin is such a love....always so tender with Baby Ezra. How could you not? Look at the sweet little face?
