Memorial Day 2011!

We had such a beautiful day!
The weather was perfect, the friends were fabulous, and we got to be together as a family.
In the morning we went to place flags at a cemetery we go to every year. It's such a special time to think about the men and women who gave their lives.and the kids love it!

Bruce and his friend Bean;)

After that we drove to PA to go to a great beach (Presque Isle) and feel sand between our toes... and rocks in between our baby fingers:
Kate had lots of fun in the water and out
This Kate was pretty cute too:

We went back to our friend's home for some trampoline time, a delicious BBQ,followed by amazing -fun dessert:
My super talented friend Stacie brought buckets to the beach to fill with sand then then used them as cute table decorations- wow!

Further proof of how fun it was: the ride home, Bruce is super happy, Jane's eating a pear, Kate and James are sleeping.
Thanks for the "Memorable Memorial Day!"

Jane's Girl Scout Day Camp

I forgot to post these.
.Last Saturday Jane went to Girl Scout day camp and had a blast!
She went with about 9 other girls in her troop.The theme was a "World" something and each troop was a different country. Hers was Japan. She loved all the SWAPS she got and the fun things she learned.

Guess..

Guess how many Gumballs are in this jar?

Last night we went to a restaurant to support the Girl Scouts and one of the things they had was a group of girl scouts who came around with a giant jar of bubble gum and asked us to guess how many were in it. The kids guessed "900" "10" and "1,300." Brad looked at it and said "274" later when we were about the leave the girls came up to Brad and told him he guessed exactly right!

He's so happy :)
He took the jar to cub scouts that night..
