Our Memorial Day

I love Memorial Day, it always seems to be the kick-off to summer bar-b-ques. Our friends from church and school, the Johnson's, invited us to come over to the Edge (the student center at our church here)to play sand volley ball with a few couples. At first I was a little hesitant because it has been years since I have played, but I decided not to let my pride get the best of me and away we went. There were four couples total(Thomas', Johnson's, Carr's, and us) so we played 4 on 4. Now I gotta tell you the truth, I am so bruised up this evening and my right hand is quite swollen and purple, but it was so worth it. We had blast and the weather couldn't have been more perfect for being outside. After playing for a couple of hours we headed over to the Youth Pastor's house for a wonderful bar-b-que and visiting. It was a fun day and this evening we are all exhausted. On the way home Brooklyn said, " Mommy, thank you for taking us to play with our friends in the sand. Can we go back another day?" I think that it was a hit.:) (I apologize that I didn't get more pictures, I was too pre-occupied!)



I brought along sand toys for the kids to play with, it was a huge hit!!
