Memorial Day

For Memorial Day we thought about following the hordes of people going up the mountain for a picnic, but sleeping in and relaxing won out, so instead we had a BBQ at our place in the afternoon. We pulled out the camera in an effort to remedy our lack of pics with Grandma and Grandpa Knight (and to capture the fun on "film").

 

 

Matchy matchy.

 

Trying to get Ryan in a picture:

 

but he wanted to dive onto the water table instead.

 

Hot dog heaven:

 

And the rest of the clan with food in their mouths. :)

 

For dessert Rachel and Annie had popsicles they had bought from the ice cream truck for the first time ever. They've been noticing the ice cream truck go by most days, so Rachel was so excited to be out on the street when it was coming. I grabbed her money for her and she bought herself and Annie a huge popsicle each. The rest of us that cared about dessert (mostly just Ryan, I think) had a fudgepop.

 

 

Playing on the swings:

 

Since it was Monday evening we had Annie give her favorite FHE lesson. The one she gives EVERY time it's her turn to teach: "When Jesus was died, then he was in the tomb with the rock over him. Mary was sad and the angel moved the rock and Jesus was resurrected." We have pictures I've laminated that she uses every time. McKenzie was especially interested in them, but let Annie hold them long enough to give her lesson (30 seconds). 

We always talk about getting together once a month or so for an extended family FHE, but it doesn't usually happen. Maybe we should make it happen more often. Like schedule it on our calendars or something. :)

Happy Summer!
