Memorial Day Weekend

Oh how I love the weekends! It was so nice to spend the weekend together and not worry about anything but having fun! After lunch on Saturday, we headed downtown to check out the filming of the Food Network show, "The Great Food Truck Race". We got there toward the end of things, but there were still lots of camera crews and long lines. The girls weren't too interested in standing in line forever, so after a little while we walked around downtown and stopped at a couple stores. I scored a darling mirror for the girls' room at an antique shop!

On Sunday evening we took the girls to visit the Field of Heroes at a local high school. There is one white cross to represent every soldier who has died during the recent war. There were thousands!! It was neat to explain to the girls what it means to live in this great country and how important it is to be grateful for our service men and women who help protect our freedom.

Monday morning we met up with some neighbors at a fishing pond. The girls had so much fun and Avri and Emery both caught a fish! We had a picnic lunch and enjoyed a beautiful day!! On the way home we stopped at a playground and the girls played and explored to their heart's content.

 

Avri was soooo patient. She was so determined to catch a second fish, but just wasn't having any luck. When we were ready to leave she said, "Well I really wanted to catch my second fish, I tried really really hard!!" We were proud of her hard work and her good attitude! The picture of Emery is her reeling in her catch on the first cast!

Proof: I was there too, and Claire left this cute little piggy in her hair for a record amount of time!
