Memorial Day Weekend - Kick Off to Summer!

We had a fun family 3-day weekend, taking time to remember those we have lost and those who serve our country too. So grateful to live in the home of the free and the brave in the U.S.A.!

Digging for worms . . .


BBQ at Krantz' - Zander is one of Kate's very closest friends -

Mckinley and Molly have been close since they were babies! Born just 2 weeks apart!

After dinner, an old-fashioned game of Kick Ball and Soccer with the Dads!

First trip to the Pool for the summer - it was COLD but we still had fun!









Lots of "shows" on the backyard "stage" 


Mike and I trimmed some trees and made room for my old hammock to be hung - I had this hammock 10 years ago in my first house when I first met Mike and used to lay in it with him under the stars!  Now, our girls are loving it too!

Take Me Out to the BallGame!

We started our Memorial Day Weekend off with a trip to the ballpark to see the Royals beat the White Sox!  It was GORGEOUS out - sun was shining and the breeze was cool - the PERFECT day to be at the ballpark!

Kate lasted about 3 minutes before she said, "When can I get some Dippin Dots??"


Enjoying their Dippin' Dots - 





By the 5th Inning - we were out at the "Little K" - waiting to bat and run the bases!





The obligatory carousel ride before heading home . . .

The Royals are now in 1st Place in the Division!!!  Wahoo!
