Memorial Day

Dean came home around 10 am on Memorial Day and asked the kids if they wanted to go on a picnic. I didn't feel very good but we still went anyway and I'm so glad we did. We would have missed out on "the best day ever", as Josie repeatedly kept calling it.

I made some sandwiches that we ate at the pond and then went on a hike that was so funny. Quincy was loving her ride on our shoulders and the kids were plenty discouraged with the huge trees in our path.  

Josie was picking every leaf and flower she could hold in her fist while she sang to herself.

On our way down the hill I told Trig it was time for a nap and Josie said she wanted to take a nap too. Next the most magical thing happened. We got home and all 5 of us took a nap it was awesome! When we woke up Dean saddled the horses and walked down to see papa. 

Dean had filled up the pool earlier so it was warm for the kids and I let them swim for the first time this summer. Quincy was loving the water until the dog walked by and she melted. 

They only swam for a minute and then we headed to the Taco Bus in town for dinner. I got their NOMER so we can call in next time. We stopped to visit at Dean's parents on our way home and I took the kids on a little walk ,then home to bed. I really did have such a fun day with this little family of mine and I'm so glad Josie though it was the best day ever!
