Memorial Day/Weekend

When you're not around family's or friend's graves, what are you supposed to do on Memorial Day?  Had didn't have to work the whole weekend.  So we had to take advantage, and I'll tell you what we did.  We "hauled our cookies all the way to the beach". (movie trivia?)  We packed a little lunch and snacks and had a lot of fun.  It was a cloudy day, but still like 89 degrees, so it was good.   

We played in the waves, rode boogie boards, swam, people watched, and Had attempted to surf.
The beach is always a good time.
 Jeter and Jerzi only asked about sharks a handful of times.
Maybe it wasn't the greatest idea we ever had to let them watch Soul Surfer with us.

The kids got sand castle building supplies for Easter and have been dying to use them.  So right when we got there, we got to work.

Here it is, all said and done.
I love how proud Jete and Jerz both look.

Oh wait, not done. 

We have to add water to the moat, of course.  What was I thinking?

And when we got all done, they immediately wanted to wreck it.  

Ugh...all that work, gone in an instant!

This was actually Saturday that we went to the beach. Sunday we went to church, took naps and played corn hole and bocce ball out in our yard with our neighbors.  Monday me and Had played a few games of tennis while Jete and Jerz played in the splash pad, and park.  Then we came home and did yard work, then all crashed.  It was such a great weekend!  We love holidays Had doesn't have to work!
