Memorial Day Weekend

We started our Memorial Day weekend on the couch. We were planning to head up north on Thursday, however Grant woke up with a bug. So - he was borrowing Alayna's blankets while his were in the laundry and just hangin' on the couch.
Daddy flew up north this time with a friend of his. 1.5 hrs compared to 3.5 plus in a car with two toddlers. Hmmmm...
Papa bought the grandkids a new toy. Yikes! Grant loves it - as does Alayna...Daddy will be busy with rides when we are there.
Walkin' with Daddy
Runnin' with Mommy (notice - same running stance - although Mommy's is slightly exaggerated) :)

The bird's next found in Briana's tree. There's one egg in there and that had fallen out.

Grandma and Mommy found this swing set at a rummage. Great find for those non-lake days!


Daddy pulled them around in the boat. Alayna's not a big fan of the life jacket - sorry sweetie - you gotta wear it! Poor thing - if she lost her balance she'd fall over and not be able to get back up. Grant is just big enough to be able to move in his...unless it involves bending - then he can't do that either.
Alayna LOVED playing in the sand
Two thumbs up Grandma
Grant loved helping drive the boat but is sad this might be the last ride of the season already. The lake is about 6 feet (or more) lower than other years. It's bad for boating, but is great for sand play. If it's going to happen - this is a great year for it - the kids LOVE the sand and it makes Mommy just a little (very little) less nervous on the lake side of the house.
ICE CREAM!!!
Briana's tree with the new pink lights. The tree is showing a lot of new growth this year. We're hoping it will take a good step forward. Last winter was hard on it so we didn't know if it would make it through last year. So this past winter Papa put a fence around it to keep the animals away. That worked great! The bottom seems to have a lot of brown...but the tips are new and green. What does that mean?
Grant's ready for his first jet ski ride. He LOVED it!

3 years ago on Memorial Day weekend we planted this tree in memory of Briana. We never knew then how blessed we would be just 3 years later. Thank you God!
Alayna's first corn on the cob - she did great!
