Memorial Day was a lot of fun! We got up at the crack of dawn to go to the Ward Breakfast at Ponds Park. This is a fun tradition we inherited when we became part of the Ponds Park Ward. We didn't get to have Nate with us which is a definite bummer, but we managed to still have some fun. Jack couldn't find his shoes, so he came barefoot and rode in the wagon all the way there. Then spent a good portion of his time there curled up in a blanket in the wagon. Looked like we'd smuggled in a puppy or a baby or something. He was really cold. Should have put him in pants I guess. The weather wasn't perfect, but it actually held out pretty long for our breakfast before finally dumping on us. I loved that they did games this year! Audrey hid some flags for the kids to find which my kids LOVED. Then she had them do three legged races for bags of Red Vines. So cool :). I LOVED how simple it was and yet how much fun the kids were having! Luke and Brad were determined to win and finally did. I was partners with a couple of the kids that didn't have one, that was fun :). It was hard losing though since that's never happened to me before in three-legged racing. But it was all good. I can't eat Red Vines right now anyway. So I did get to talk to a few people, the Nybo girls were fun to talk to about Disneyland, and then I managed to get a few words in with Emily before I realized I needed to go get my groceries. But it was a nice time. The rest of the day we mostly bummed around. It was actually really nice and I felt like it was the perfect little recharge before this last lap of school! Made me feel like I really could sprint to the finish! We played some games, but surprisingly did NOT turn on the TV or computer! It was no screen day and we actually did it! Then we headed out, picked up Nate and went to the Taylors' for the family barbecue. Unfortunately it was pouring rain, so we just ate inside, which was a bummer with my allergies being as bad as they've been lately. They have two dogs, so I really didn't stand a chance. But we had fun. I enjoyed it. Time to gear up for the last week of school!!! We can do this! 5-28-18
