Memorial Day Weekend!

Our Memorial Day weekend started off on Saturday morning taking three and a half hours to shop for food at our local farmers' market. Obviously, we don't just shop. While walking we stop to do cartwheels in the grass and the perfect picture opportunity came up when Phil sat down in the grass with Veronica. Of course I call over to Mia and Michael to come sit next to their Daddy and without pause they come a runnin'. Eager as always to be with their Dad. It's just too sweet. I think you will agree. The rest of the day goes by so fast because we are so worn out from walking , (Veronica is the only one in the stroller) that we all spend the rest of the afternoon taking a nap. Sunday was fun because not only did the kids get to enjoy the Please Touch Museum they also got to hang out at a McDonald's that had an awesome indoor play space. The kids enjoyed a great lunch and that stop helped keep Mia from falling asleep in the minivan. So, nap time once again and the after dinner we went to Cosi. This is the first time that Michael and Mia have experienced S'mores! Check out their reaction when our order was brought to the table. Michael just liked eating the chocolate and marshmallows while Mia enjoyed every bite of s'mores. It went over so well that we went out and found a s'mores kit we can have some at home whenever we want. Big news about Veronica..she had her first laugh today. It was great! Sorry, there's no video because I didn't see it coming. I will do my best to catch it next time.

So Mia had a scare, but it was hilarious to me! Hopefully she will laugh at this video when she is older.
Michael has perfected his eye winking talent. He had been practicing in the mirror. This should make you laugh. Here's looking at you, kid.

We ended our weekend with a great BBQ dinner at Famous Dave's and returned home to have some S'mores. I can't wait for next weekend! Ha!
