Memorial Day Weekend


We had a fun filled memorial day weekend. Kevin and I were able to go see Wicked. We have had our tickets for an entire year, so it was great to finally get to go. We had fabulous seats, front row very middle balcony. We felt like the cast was a little better when we saw it in Chicago a few years back, but nothing to complain about, an amazing production!

The next morning I was able to do a mock Olympic triathalon and it went great! The water was only 58 degrees, but thank heaven for those lovely wet suits! I think I am ready for the real thing.

That evening Kevin and the kids popped us up some yummy kettle corn on the grill and we had a fun family movie night.

After church on Sunday we quickly packed us up a picnic dinner and headed to the river to check out the crazy spring run off. Lot's of fun pictures coming up.

Eating our dinner between raindrops

The hanging bridge at Bowl and Pitcher

This was a little too close for Josie-the water was loud and was spraying a mist that she wasn't really happy about.

The sucking goat-we finished our afternoon fun by feeding the goat our garbage. You push this button and it turns on a vacuum and it inhales whatever you put in front of the nose. Who wouldn't love this??

Last but not least, we finished out weekend off with inviting some friends over on Monday evening after some hard work in the yard. We enjoyed smores and a hot dog roast in the back yard. Again we were eating between raindrops, but everyone had a great time.

Funny how you can go with out taking a picture for weeks then suddenly it is overload.

Good for you on the swimming! I really want to do that - just need to partner with some friends so I don't have to do the running part.

That river looks amazingly rough - but beautiful scenery.
