Memorial Day Weekend

We had a very productive Memorial Day weekend.  There were no baseball games scheduled so we decided to tackle some things around the house.  First on the list was to trim the bushes in the front flowerbeds.  When we got started Saturday morning, we realized the bushes were dead and rotted on the inside.  On to plan B....removing all 5 bushes!  What a difference!  We decided to make the one side into a patio sitting area.  We love the updated look.  The chairs belong to Mom and Dad but we're borrowing them until we find exactly what we want for that area.  I want to add another flower pot as well, but over all I think we accomplished a lot for one weekend!

AFTER

The boys had a great time playing outside while we worked!  Lucas even got his first tractor ride!  He was so excited watching Jim on the tractor.  

Sunday morning Lucas had his first taste of waffle.  He loved it!

Monday morning we went back to Monocacy Hill with Mom and Dad.  The boys wanted to do the hike to the top of the hill again so they could climb on the big rocks.

The hike tired Lucas out!!

Then in the afternoon the boys went swimming for the first time this season.  Even Lucas was loving his new baby pool!

The next 2 weeks are busy again with baseball.  Jacob is finished school but will be in camp for the next 2 weeks.  Eric has 3 weeks of school left until summer break!  Looking forward to a fun filled summer vacation!
