Memorial Day Weekend Fun

We had such a nice weekend. The weather was nice, and after all the cold this last year, we really didn't mind the heat.

First things first we hit up the pool twice. I already used this picture, but I love my stylish pool kids. Dorky chic is totally in. Do you watch Jerseylicious?

Sunday we hung out, then I went to work for a little bit, and Brian took the kids to see Grandy, and go to a baseball game. Lainey's first baseball game in fact. Let me now give my husband props. He loves taking the kids places by himself, actually thought about taking them to the game, and survived. It was super hot, Lainey had a tantrum, and it was not so close to home. The kid had fun, but due to Lainey's meltdown, they only lasted 5 innings.

On Monday we met friends at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. It was a free community day, of course, I don't know if we Strieplings roll any other way. We saw the trains, walked and visited different areas in the garden, and checked out the art museum. Then we all went to eat lunch at a Mexican restaurant. It was a lot of fun. We are really excited to go back to Cheekwood soon, the next free day that is :).

For dinner we made pizza together, and my camera's battery died, so we don't have any pics. Ellis ate 4 pieces, and Brian's grand total is a mystery. Lainey hardly ate but that was really due to her not having a good nap, and consequently she is in bed an hour early. (She starts school tomorrow anyway, *tear*) So I guess my first attempt at homemade pizza was a success. I already have it in my head how I will make the dough better next time :)

Now I would like to say thank you to all of those that have sacrificed their lives, and all that could have been, for all that is for us. Our country is not perfect, but it is still good place to live, and raise a family, and speak your mind. Happy Memorial Day.
