Memorial Day recap

It's always fun to have a few days where you can sit back, relax and enjoy one another's company! This weekend we were able to do just that as we celebrated Memorial Day and we got to do lots of fun things as well. I'm a little disappointed that we forgot our regular camera, and the little camera we had with us somehow deleted all of the pictures I had before I had a chance to download them! We got to BBQ with some friends from our ward on Saturday and the girls loved being able to play with their friend Corbin. On Monday we went to this great sprinkler park! It's pretty much a playground where everything sprays water! The girls had such a fantastic time, as did we! We picniced and enjoyed the coolness of the water, especially since it was so hot that day! Later that afternoon we got to go see the new Indiana Jones movie, which we also loved! It is very reminiscent of the past Indiana Jones movies, and anyone who likes those, is sure to like this one! It was so nice to be able to spend time as a family and enjoy the day together. We are so used to celebrating holidays with lots of extended family, and being out here in TN has definitely been a challenge in that regard. We have done a lot of firsts here for our family. It's nice to be able to create our own little family traditions as well as implement the ones from our own childhoods! We still miss family like crazy though and wish as every holiday draws near, that we were all together!

I am so happy you guys had a great weekend. The sprinkler Park sounds fun. We'll have to go there when we come down. At your stage of pregnancy sitting in a sprinkler probably felt awesome. I remember when I was due with Patty in Hilton Head's heat, just standing in the ocean letting the waves lift me.

I'm sure the coldness of the water probably shocked a few people there, but it was pure bliss for me! :)

Sounds like a lot of fun - especially the water park. We'll have to go next time we come to Memphis. We haven't seen the movie yet but it sounds good and can't wait to see it.
