Memorial Day Weekend

We had a very fun, relaxing, and productive Memorial Day weekend!




On Sunday morning we met Debbie for an early trip to the JFX Farmer's Market where we got a lot of different produce for the week, including some local strawberries for a new cake recipe Mommy wanted to try.  Isaac had fun hanging in the carrier, sharing samples, and checking out all of the sights.







Ready to go! Let me out of here!




















Then we went home for our morning nap, and Debbie went to Ryan's to pick up Jimmy & JJ to join us for an afternoon trip to Kinder Farm Park.  After a picnic lunch we went and checked out the animals, and then the boys had a lot of fun playing on the playground while Isaac sat in the shade and took notes.  Our friend Jeff also happened to be there with his daughter, so we got to catch up with him for a bit too. When we got home we put the boys to work weeding and picking up pine cones (trying to tire them out for Ryan & Lauren who were at home busy packing for their move!), followed by some hammock time.

Later that night after bed time, Mommy and Daddy bottled the beer Daddy is brewing. It should be ready in a few more weeks!





On Monday, Isaac got up at his regular 6am wake-up time.  He wakes up ready to play, and after clearing off the books and toys we now keep on our headboard, he decided to climb on top of it and crawl around. *sigh*

The electric one is just an unnecessary backup for the Isaac model.




Then we went on a family walk to the duck pond.
























After naptime, Mommom Patti & CharliePop came over for some homemade strawberry cake, and to visit with Isaac. Then Isaac had some more playtime outside, pushing his cart and getting soaked at his water table.  














water break!



We had an extended weekend with Tuesday being one of Mommy's regular days off and Daddy taking the day off to finally get out and golf.  He hadn't been out since well before Isaac was born. It'd probably close to 2 years since he's swung a golf club.  So while Daddy headed out to the links, Mommy and Isaac went out for a morning walk to see the ducks and then ran some errands.  It was a pretty eventful day at the duck pond, with a very vocal greeting of quacks & honks and lots of action amongst the ducks and geese.  We also finally got to see the ducklings up close as they came all the way up to the fence and eventually came out to the sidewalk where we were!
