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!"

It was fun seeing you in the morning!!! DO NOT PUT THE FLAGS IN THE GROUND, WE DON'T START UNTIL 8:20!!! Sheesh what were we thinking putting the flags in at 8:16? :)
