Memorial Day Weekend 2011

We had a jam-packed, fun-filled weekend!  On Saturday we went to Evan's birthday party and the kids had a blast seeing the reptile show and playing with Evan, Addison and all the kids.  Sunday we headed north for a cookout at our friends' Nate & Bridget's.  So fun to get the gang and all the kiddos together.  Monday brought us to the good old Hanson Memorial Day parade and the beach!!!  The hot, muggy weather made it a perfect weekend...oh except for the fact that our pool didn't open :(.  The kids were NOT happy about that.  Still waiting...

Water slide!

Land ho!

Water balloons and bubbles...ahhhhhhhhhhh, summer is here!

Waiting for the parade...

Ready to see our very own parade celebrities...Papa, Uncle Pete and Emma the Girl Scout!

Goofball!

Little diva with a BIG piece of gum!

"Come on Chelsea...let's find more starfish..."

Do not be alarmed...no starfish were harmed in the making of this pile! 

Hello Mr. Snail, we sure did miss you this winter

Right back on after a major wipe out

Fishing in shallow waters

Unfortunately I cannot say that no child was harmed in the making of this video...more of a bruised ego though. He got up crying and said, "I think I broke the bone in my head, did I?, can you look and see??"  Poor thing. Then five seconds later he said, "But can I do it again?"  Mama's boys will still be boys.
