Memorial Weekend

We decided we were in need of a good family day, so we packed up and headed to the river. It's amazing how much fun $3 (entrance fee) and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches can buy you!

Forrest insisted that we wear these silly straw hats. I got some strange looks when I went into the grocery store to buy ice and drinks.











Kaitlyn loved sticking her toes in the water. That's about as far as she would go on her own.



Ashlee, on the other hand, had no reservations about going in the water. She must've been numb.



We built sand castles...

and searched for pretty rocks. Later on we headed up to the grassy area for some soccer and frisbee. The weather was perfect- not too hot, and it was a good time. Just what the family needed.

Today- ready for church.

Jacob was asked to give a talk in Primary today on baptism and confirmation. Here he is coloring his picture. As we were practicing this morning and I was rehearsing to him what to say, he took over and started reading off the page. This kid amazes me! He's smart, just like his sister.
