Memorial Day Weekend

Sunday we went up to the in-laws to borrow their truck and trailer and move a bunch of our stuff that we had been storing at their house back to our new house. We took off in the afternoon, it was nice and sunny out at the time. By the time we arrived at their house you could tell the weather was about to change. Sure enough half way through loading the truck and trailer up it started to rain and it didn't stop raining until half-way through our trip back.. Luckily it wasn't Oklahoma rain. *When it rains in Oklahoma it is always a downpour(at least that's what I think)* We made it back home, unpacked the stuff and prepared to make the drive again the next way.

Memorial Day we woke up to 72 degrees and humid. Weather that happens everyday in Oklahoma at this time of year. So it didn't bother me too much that it was uncomfortable weather. I figured that #1 it was not going to be 100 degrees plus humidity and #2 it was only going to be like this for one day or maybe two, NOT for the rest of the summer. I guess living in Oklahoma for the past four years has made me appreciate Michigan summers. I will always be able to think.. this could be worse.

Anyways, Memorial Day was nice. We took off a little later than I had hoped. L had a major breakdown at breakfast, she refused to eat the cereal I had and I refused to make anything different for her. I offered some of her favorite foods as alternatives, applesauce, yogurt, and she refused those too. So I told her we were not stopping for food on the way to Grandma and Grandpas so don't ask and don't tell me your hungry. As the meltdown was happening J was needing help loading an old clothes washer into the tuck. I was not much help. He did eventually get it in by himself. And little N took off towards the road a few times(the backyard is not 100% fenced in yet.. he likes to run to the front door and exclaim "TADA!!!".. yeah... not funny little mister. So we finally took off. Sure enough on the way L said "My tummy hurts but that is probably because I didn't eat anything" Lesson learned. I brought some mac and cheese to make when we arrived.

So after we arrived I made lunch, and we walked down to the pond. The girls collected frogs and tadpoles from the pond. They went on boat rides and I tried to sit as much as possible. We all got a little sun but didn't burn at all. We headed back home towards the middle of the afternoon. The river was full of people floating down it.

After we got home J cooked up some food on the grill while the kids played on the play-set we had brought home from the in-laws and we sat down for dinner at the picnic table that we had also brought home. It was soo nice out at that point. Still sunny, still hot, still humid but still nice.

Dinner outside.
