Memorial Weekend

We had a great Memorial Weekend.

Saturday, we were planning on heading to Wichita as a family, but my Dad needed some help doing silage, so Marc stayed home to work for my Dad.  Instead, Gigi, Aunt Shannon, & Luke joined us.  We met Aunt Monica at Olive Garden (YUMMMY!!!)  and then went and saw Monica's new apartment.  It is very nice.  She was just moving in, but nice enough to let us put the kids down for naps at her place.  After naps, we headed to the state track meet to watch my cousin, Ben.  He ran the 300 M hurdles.  He ended up finishing second.  He was just barely out of first.  We are very proud of him!  Marleigh loved watching his track meets this year!

We spent the night at my sister's house on Saturday, and headed home early Sunday morning.  On our way home, we stopped by the feedyard.  Marleigh loved riding with her Daddy.  Last year she was a little apprehensive about the big tractors and trucks.  This year she couldn't get enough of them!  Marc sat her on his lap and she got to drive the tractor up and down the big silage pile.  She was grinning from ear to ear.   Silly mommy forgot to bring the camera (again).  Brought back old memories from when I was a little girl sitting on my Dad's lap driving the push tractors.  :)  Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVED growing up on a farm?!?

After our nap on Saturday, Mommy and Marleigh went outside to play.  Ever since we went swimming the weekend before, Marleigh has been begging me to swim.  We didn't go swimming, but I think she had just as much fun. 

Yesterday, before Marc had to be at the feed yard, we went to the cemetary to see Natalie.  It was so miserably windy, we didn't spend a whole lot of time there.  I did want to share a picture of Natalie's Memorial that will be at the splash pad.  We are so very grateful for all the donations, volunteers, and support that helped make this possible. 

The Grand Opening of the park and splash pad is this coming Friday evening at 6:00pm.  Hot dogs will be provided.  Please bring a side and desert and join us if you can.
