Happy Memorial Day

Memorial Day was packed with tons of family fun for us. We headed out to Ken and MarGene's to spend the day and boy did we have a great time.

We started out going to the beach. Where Megan loved collecting as many shells as she could find. I think she would have loved to take them all if we let her. Andrew was really good and just tagged along taking it all in.

We saw lots of fun sea creatures and got to stand in the surf a bit. Andrew was a bit afraid of the water but as long as he was with someone he hung out. Megan as usual wanted to try it all and see it all.

The beach was great fun and we look forward to doing it again some time. Megan says that the beach was the funnest part of her day.

After frolicking in the sand and surf we headed home for a quick lunch before we headed out again for miniature golf. There was a cute 18 hole course that was pretty fun. Andrew had his first and only meltdown at this juncture because the green putter was too big for him and he could only have the orange one. Green is his favorite color and he didn't care if it was too big.
Andrew wasn't a fan of the drive shots and pretty much at every hole went right to the end to place his ball and hit it in saying "I win, I win, I win!" Megan did the whole scoop, drag technique in hitting her balls. Some how her stoke number always seemed to be a bit off but it was all fun in the game.
We then headed out to pick up some fresh carmel corn and then off to swim at the lodge. Luckily for you I don't have pictures of that scary swimsuit action as we all got in for a lazy relaxing dip. It was nice to soak away the day and just have some family time. My kids love to swim with their floaties and it is tough to drag them out when we are done.
We ended our day playing some Wii and eating that carmel corn. The kids were really good for us and we really did have a blast. Now life returns back to normal and we're back to our daily routine. It was a nice holiday and I'm glad we got to do so much. I hope everyone else had a nice Memorial Day!!
