Saturday seemed the best day for all the family..so that's the day we all got together. We spent the first half of the day getting the hot tub cleaned up and running. It's been off since last fall. Then weeding the strawberries and other minor clean-up projects.
After naps. We started on dinner. Doug grilled up his famous Burgers & hot dogs,. We had all the usual B-Que stuff with them. Tressa made a smores brownie dessert that was very good.
The kids even got in the pool for awhile. but, it just wasn't hot enough and the girls really started to shiver and look cold. Madison had just learned to pull her self up to a standing position. (a big event for her!!) so she tried doing that in the pool. Isabell like to get in and out. When climbing back in she would grab hold of Madison and pull her over into the water trying to get back in the pool. It was so funny!!! Sorry no picks. But we do have video!
The big boys hit the basketball court. Melia played with all the little ones. She really misses Peyton and Madison now that she lives in Lacey. 
Tressa watch the action from the new swing she and Jesse bought for the front yard.
Erica and Madison played on the grass. it was a pretty casual gathering
We wanted to play some boche ball, but the little ones wanted the balls and Peyton was picking them up and chucking them. They are really heavy...so in the interest of safety, we put them away Later we moved inside and watched a movie. it was a good day. Lots done and lots of family fun.
Hope every one has a good Memorial Day. As we think of the sacrifices made by men and women we don't even know, so that we can all live in a free country with the safety that allows us to gather our families around to enjoy these kind of days, we are grateful to their efforts and dedication to this nation and the people in it.
