My sweet momma can't stand being away from these girlies so she and dad made a trip out here for Memorial Day weekend. I tried to make our unfinished basement as cozy as possible so they could stay with us. Saturday Spencer came down to spend the day with us too. We went to Pizza Pie Cafe for lunch and then headed off to the zoo. The zoo was good fun as always. Sophie loves all the animals, but freaks out when she sees the snakes at first. After the zoo, we headed back to our house and had our own little picnic in our backyard. We cooked up hot dogs and all the usual picnic sides. Then we broke in our backyard fire pit and roasted marshmallows. It was windy so it was a little hard to cook mallows, but I love that fire pit. No smoke, no ash, no wood, no camping smell--just propane. It's like magic. I'm excited for more summer nights around the fire.
Sunday was made for relaxing and Daniel cooked up some authentic pozole for everyone. Monday was lunch at Olive Garden and ice cream at Reed's Dairy before my parents hit the road. After they left, we stopped by Freeman Park for the Veteran's Memorial and flag display. Sophie thought it was pretty cool. Then Sophie and Daniel went fishing at the fishing pond with the Enger cousins. Emery and I met them all back at their house for another deliciously grilled dinner, a trip up to Daniel's mom's grave, and more s'mores. A very busy, but very fun Memorial Day weekend.
