Monday May 29

It was a beautiful Memorial Day today.

The weather could not have been more perfect!

We started the morning with our ward fun run.

Port was awesome and came in second place with the senior primary runners.

He's a speedy little guy!

I talked Elsie into running it with me with the reward of an otter pop at the finish line :)

She did great!

Then the Scouts were there with a breakfast fundraiser.

Before breakfast they had a little flag ceremony and moment of silence and it was such a nice way to remember those whom we love who have passed on and remember those who have lost their lives so that we can live the lives that we live now.

We came home after that and Dad got some irrigation stuff done.

Kiddos got laundry put away.

Madi cleaned the bathroom before she left with her friends for a little get together at Quinn's pond.

I took a nap and the others relaxed for a little bit.

At about 2 we went over to Sherrie and Justin's house.

Cass stayed home to wait to be picked up by her friend Carley and her family.

They went to Eagle Island for the day.

We went swimming with Sherrie and the kids at their neighborhood pool.

Justin stayed a put stone on their house.....

We left because we thought he was almost done......but about 3 hours later, he still didn't show up.

We went home and changed, Dad fixed some irrigation issues, I went and bought watermelon and we waited for Cassi to get home.

Then we headed back to The Halls house for a yummy shish-ka-bob dinner :)

We ended the night a little early because we have to go to dang school tomorrow!

Madi was still with her friends, but had left the pond and was now swimming at a friend's grandparents house.

So I picked her up so we could try and get the little ones to bed at a reasonable time :)

It was a nice day spent with good friends.

And we all ended up back home together safe and sound.

I don't know why Porter tries to make picture time so hard :(

Elsie did awesome, venturing into the deep end with her life jacket and noodle :)
