Memorial Day Weekend 2019

Thanks to Memorial Day, Derek ended up with a 4 day weekend! It worked out so nicely that he had Friday off b/c that was the girls' Field Day at school. So Derek & Brady came to watch while I volunteered.

We went downtown on Saturday and had an early lunch at Rainforest Café (thanks to a gift card from BooBoo!), played at Hemisphair Park, and then watched the Willy Wonka play at the Magik Theatre! It was a lot of fun!

The rest of the weekend was spent at home getting projects done around the house & swimming! It was the perfect mix of fun & productivity!! {Although Derek might say differently as he was the one doing most of the work, ha!}

{The beginnings of our new bench in the kitchen!}

 {Everyone crowded around the first frog we have found in our pool filter, which bought us a whole evening of fun! I can remember doing this at our neighborhood pool as a kid, so this was such a fun full circle moment!}

{our sweet neighbors gifted us this float after we put our pool in, and the kids were ecstatic to break it out this weekend!}

And fast forward to today--Brady & I had our last school lunch dates with our 2nd grader & Kindergartener! Next time we do this, it will be with a 3rd & 1st grader--crazy!!
