Memorial Day Weekend

We headed over the hills to Moses Lake to be with my family on Memorial Day weekend. It took us 6 hours to get from Kent to Moses Lake, but it was so worth it for the fun, sun and good times we got to enjoy.


We all invaded the hotel pool where Sara and Luke stayed. Unfortunately, we ran out of things to do. Fortunately, we had children's swim rings to keep us entertained!

Look closely and you'll see the ring Shane is jumping into...



Oops....it got stuck!
Dan demonstrates yet another use for baby's floaties...taking a break after I gave him a solid beating in our floatie race.

And then there's my mom....I love her!

Meanwhile, Lilly observed and wondered if her floatie would be spared....
Kailer is so small his swim trunks kept falling off. Who needs them when you've got underwear as cool as these?!

Heather and the birthday girl,Lilly. A good aunt would have pictures of her opening her birthday presents and eating her first cake. A bad aunt lays down and accidentally takes a nap with her son instead!


Eli's favorite thing to do was stand on the edge of the pool and yell, "go" as he jumped into Shane's arms.

On Saturday night, all the girls decided to take the kids to the Moses Lake Parade (since it sounded like it would smell much better than the carp shooting the boys were doing). Lucky for us, it was an evening parade and it had just cooled down. We had a chance to walk around Moses Lake before the parade kicked off.

Sweet Sara!

Eli and his cousin Rylee ride in style...What's a parade without icecream? Nana and Kailer sharing a bite. (Isn't he the cutest in those glasses?!)


My adorable nieces, Maddy and Lilly, sharing icecream.

Brr! That's cold!Eli insisted on sitting on the curb with the boys who sat beside us (I have no clue who they were!). It was so much fun to watch him as he watched the parade...I can't think of one entry he didn't wave at!
On our way back to Stanwood, we stopped to hang out with the Youngren's at their summer house in Desert Aire. We had so much fun just relaxing in the sun, enjoying the view. They set up this little pool for Eli, though there might have been a few adults who took a dip, too.
