Memorial Day Weekend - Part I

We had a great weekend with Andrew and Amy in town. It was even more fun to have Emma visit as well. Andy and I have never had a more entertaining Memorial Day weekend!! It was so much fun to watch the kids play together and to take everyone to some of the fun places around here like the Children's Museum and the beach. They also had a lot of fun playing with the Wii Emma was able to come over and play during at least part of each day from Friday through Monday. She loved her room and was excited to get to play with my nieces and nephews. She and Brianna got along so well you would have thought they had been best friends for years! Emma is also the same age as Arick (for a few more months, anyway) and they had a great time as well.

Here are a few pictures from the Children's Museum. This is Captain Ty. He was quite enamoured with the pirate ship and took his navigational responsibilities very seriously.
This is Ella playing with some of the sea shells.
This is Bri and Emma all dressed up and singing "I'm a Little Tea Pot".

We also spent most of the Memorial Day Holiday at the beach. We went very early and got a great parking space by 8am. We stayed until about 1pm and everyone had a blast. Andrew, feeling nostalgic, purchased a boogie board and taught Bri, Arick and Emma how to boogie board. It was very entertaining. The water was not too cold and there was not any seaweed, so it was great.

Here's Arick showing off his mad skills.
I couldn't remember who Ella reminded me of in her little cover up until it hit me like a ton of bricks! She's Maggie Simpson.









Here are the boogie boarders.


I'm running out of time, so I'll have to post more pictures later.
