It's a Beautiful Life: A Wet Memorial Day

What a WET Memorial Day this year (although it shouldn't have been much a surprise since most Memorial Days are)!

We had lots planned for our Memorial Day...and even with all the rain, we didn't let the rain stop our fun!!!!

On Saturday we met my parents and sister Kate at the race track! We had a GREAT table under the roof, so even the rain couldn't damper our fun! Although we didn't have any big winners (I think I won the most with a $36 win off a $2 bet), we had a great afternoon!!!! (Sorry Kate, I didn't get any pics of you)

On Sunday we were supposed to meet the Douglas and O'Connor families at the zoo, but the lightning started while we were driving there, so we detoured to have some lunch at Cheeseburger in Paradise to ride out the storm. Well....that never happened and we had to cancel our trip to the zoo, but we had a great lunch together!!!

When we got home, we decided to FINISH (yeah!!!!) our winter projects! We had done the screen door and backsplash already. All we had to do was finish a chair rail in the family room/kitchen! We worked hard to get it done and take advantage of our rainy day! It looks great and we are very happy!

The nail gun was very loud...so the girls sat under this table while we worked....don't know why but it was cute!

Daddy working very HARD! :)

This is obviously before...I didn't take an after yet!

Monday we woke up to a BEAUTIFUL morning and we couldn't wait to get started. Literally by 7:30 am we had the pool filled and were ready to start our day!

First thing we did was head to downtown Wheaton. We walked around the town for a while, stopped for coffee, watched the Memorial Day parade, and ended with our favorite frozen yogurt!!!! It was a perfect morning!

After our morning, we headed home for lots and lots of swimming! Our neighbors were outside too so it was a great time!

It was a really great weekend full of family time!!!!!!

Also, I found a few pics on my camera from last weekend's trip to Just Play in our town. It's a local fest full of things for the kids to do. Rob and I got the great idea to WALK there and back...it was a long, hot, windy walk both ways, but well worth it!
