Memorial Day

We had a great, long Memorial Day weekend. Lots of yard work and lots of fun (those two don't necessarily go hand in hand). Madisyn was a great helper as we tried to get the back yard in order for the summer. We got lots done and its starting to come together. Madisyn also met a couple new friends from the neighborhood this weekend which is sure to make this summer a blast.

On Memorial Day we went and watched the parade. We weren't really sure how Madisyn would do with all the sirens, but all the dogs seemed to distract her.


It was pretty neat seeing all the vetrans walk by. A good reminder of what the day is all about.




Madisyn getting into it with her flag.


There were horses....


And Shriners on a bike....


And even a dog humping a rocket.


Simon showed up too enjoying a piece of candy hurled from one of the floats (Hurled prolly wasn't the best word to use there).







Madisyn's favorite part....the dog Ollie she met.




Here's a couple pics from the yard work. Well...the breaks between yard work I guess.

That's a fun tent! I can't wait to hang out on the patio (I probably just jinxed us and there will be rain!)
