Memorial Day Weekend in Pictures

May 29, 2012 | family, Uncategorized

 

Good morning! I hope everyone enjoyed their three day weekend. I am tired but had a great time, so I am just going to share a few photos from my weekend. I would really love for you to go check out yesterdays post on leaking what you love though, so be sure to check it out!

BBQ Sunday

Lots and lots of yard work Monday

Then Bobby and I had dinner with my cousin, Jaimie and her husband Matt last night

A great weekend!

    Memorial Day is usually the start of nice weather “up North”! And what a great weekend for us. As always, we went to the Memorial Day parade in our town, then drove over to the city where I grew up (about 10 minutes away) and placed flags on the graves of our family veterans and said a few prayers. My son’s birthday falls on this weekend so we always have a joint birthday/Memorial day family party – this year was no exception. The solar cover heated the pool water up enough so everyone could swim (definitely NOT always the case!) The past 3 weeks have been incredibly busy as a family – my husband is taking a few night classes at a local university to finish a couple of grad courses up, kids had AP exams, SATS, ACTs (coming up), end of year assignments, basketball tournaments, lacrossse games, track invitationals, etc – so while we “should” have done yard work, we kind of just collapsed around the pool and enjoyed family time. Best weekend in a long time!!

    We did a little car test driving, as I am looking for a new car. Then my mom and I participated in our first 5k yesterday! I’m a new runner, so this was my first race!

    It looks like you had a great 3 day weekend! We took Wyatt on his first boat ride and he didn’t scream. He actually passed out. Success!

    I actually took time and really cleaned my kitchen. My roommates and I have been neglecting it for a while, so it was finally time to get it done. And I must say, it looks GREAT now 🙂

    Ran a 10k…in brutal heat!! I’m glad that race is over! Hard to believe it’s already SO humid and in upper 80s in Southern VA in late May. I’m already dreading my summer training runs. Other than that, normal Memorial Day activities – pool, bbq, etc.
    BTW, your yard looks fabulous – nice work! 🙂

    I love your yard! But I think I love that black dress more! 🙂

    I ran my 1st 10k race Monday-virtual run. I ALMOST died! It was so hot here in Alabama-even at 6pm. Now I’m looking for a “real” 10k to sign up for at the end of this month or July.

We originally got it as a solution for rainy or co We originally got it as a solution for rainy or cold days during the holidays, but it quickly became part of our weekly routine — especially for family game night or those super hot afternoons when going outside just isn’t an option.

What I love most? It gets us laughing, playing, and moving together. The games are active and designed with real child development principles in mind — which means I feel good about the screen time. And when she plays solo? I know she’s safe — no online strangers, just fun, movement, and confidence-building play.

Whether we’re all competing or she’s playing on her own, @nexplayground has become one of our favorite ways to stay active and connected as a family.
