How we spent our Memorial Day Weekend

We had a very productive Memorial Day Weekend.  It was so nice to have some time away from work - even a day makes a huge difference.  Saturday we did yard work - mowed, trimmed, mulched and planted!  Our back yard is really shaping up.  Grass makes all the difference : )  Brian almost lost it when I suggested that we did a large portion of it up to add a swimming pool!  The pictures are of Emrie from Saturday.  She was helping water the plants...kind of.   

Sunday we cleaned the house from top to bottom: swept, mopped, vacuumed, dusted.  We tracked in so much dirt from the day before we didn't have any choice.  Regardless, my house was clean...for one day anyway. 

 

 On Monday we loaded up the kids and the dogs and the guns and headed to my parent's place in Deanville.  Our friends, Ryan and Heather and their kiddos, met us out there.  It was a blast.  We rode 4-wheelers most of the afternoon.  Everyone, except Emrie, took turns shooting at the really cool zombie targets.  And then we wrapped up the day with bbq'd burgers.  By the time we left we were all covered in dust, sunburned and completely exhausted.  What a great day!
