Memorial Day as it should be….

Our Memorial Day this year was awesome! I was determined not to let the kids just sit around the house doing nothing on their day off of school (not that we ever do that anyway). I rounded up the kids and decided we were going to go on a hike up Mt. Helena. Porter invited his friend Sam and their whole family ended up coming, which is great because we love the Bingham's. It was the perfect weather for a hike, the sun was shining, but it wasn't too hot. The kids were all troopers, I was especially proud of Marin, she just goes along, even with her short little legs, she is happy. We of course did not make it to the top, but it was far enough and just enough to enjoy the beautiful views and nature. It is so neat to be up there and see all of Helena.

Tessa was the leader and of course, looking so cute.

At our first of many breaks. Love Jodi and Jim.

After the hike we made our way to the Bingham's to see the bunnies. We all of course wanted to take one home, but I think our family has hit the maximum amount on pets.

Later that evening Andy got home from work and we decided to go meet the Lay's, Furhimas's, and the Christensen's down at the lake and have a BBQ. So we loaded up the grill and tons of food and went for it. It was such a beautiful location, just tons of fun. The kids were running all over, playing in the water, climbing the big rock hill, making s'mores, etc. Just a perfect evening with people we love.
