Memorial Day Weekend

We had a very packed weekend. Thursday night Nate's parents stopped by on their way to Oregon. They got here around 6 o'clock and we were able to visit with them for a few hours. They spent the night and left early Friday morning. Friday morning Tyler had field day at school. I did not get to stay very long but I did get to watch him run this fun race. The kids has to fill up a bucket with water by dunking a sponge in a bucket of water and running it 25 feet to another bucket. Which ever class got the most water in after every kid went won. Tyler's class won the race. He had such a fun time on field day.




Later that afternoon my parents showed up to spend the weekend with us. On Friday we mostly just hung out and visited. My mom and I did go clothes shopping and all of us went to get ice cream. Saturday morning we went to Boise. While in Boise we went to Home Depot. My parents bought me a door for my birthday. Now my bedroom is closed off (it was once a living room). Then we went to the Farmer's Market. There are these awesome bread sticks there. Yummy. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. They are made with garlic and pesto. They alone are the worth going to the Farmer's Market. After the Farmer's Market we went back to the house and my dad bbqed us up some steaks and shrimp. It was fantastic. The kids also entertained themselves by running through the sprinkler.


We let the chickens out to free range while we were in the front yard. The chickens just follow everyone around everywhere.

They let you pick them up

and they too ran through the sprinkler.





Early Sunday morning I sadly had to say goodbye to my parents.







At 10:30 that night Nate's parents once again arrived at our house to spend the night. Monday morning we hung out outside and I watched everyone play tether ball. The kids love playing with each other but within a few minutes someone has gotten hurt or cheated.
Before Nate's parents left we picked up a pizza and headed to the park to enjoy a picnic. And sadly shortly thereafter we had to say good-bye to Pam and David too.
















We spent the rest of the day just hanging out. We also had a BBQ. I made some very yummy fresh fruit salad. MMMM the joys of summer. All the fresh produce you can eat.
