Memorial Day Weekend

I can't even tell you how much the four of us have all been looking forward to this long weekend. For both Brian and I, it's the first official work holiday off since New Year's Day. It's been a very busy few months, and we just couldn't wait to spend some time together at home. The weather, for the most part, was amazing. We started our weekend by visiting the Farmer's Market, which opened last weekend. We even visited the pool (I can't remember ever going this early), and spent the evening enjoying a last minute dinner with some friends.

The next day, we went to The Cote Boys house for an awesome BBQ. The kid's were all so good, we got to hang out with great friends and meet new ones. It was a perfect kind of day.

Today -- Memorial Day -- we noticed storm clouds in the sky, but decided to risk it and go to the River Forest Memorial Day parade. It is always one of my favorite ways to kick off the summer, so we were pretty bummed out when it decided to rain like crazy on us. We had a perfect spot, and ran into some friends who joined us -- it would have been a good time -- but once the lightning came, we were out of there.

Also because of the rain, our BBQ with The Elsmo Four that was planned later in the day, turned into an indoor picnic. H fell asleep on their sofa (he never stops, usually) -- it was a really relaxing day.

Now, on to the final week of school. Just a couple more days!
