We had a very nice Memorial Day today! We started out the day going to the Jenison parade. So nice that we just have to walk to the end of the street to watch it! My mom and dad, brother-in-law Ben and Sara and David came at about 8:30 and everybody headed down the street (well, I stayed home to take a shower and get ready...kinda nice to do that without having the kids coming in the bathroom all the time;)
The kids loved the parade!! What wouldn't you love about filling a bag with candy? Andrew was most excited about seeing Clifford the Big Red Dog on the library's float. He told everybody about it! "clifford, parade...clifford, parade" to anybody who would listen:)
After the parade we came back to our house to relax and have lunch. Rich came over a little later and we played ladder golf for a while...until Nate got the balls stuck up in the tree!
All 4 kids napped at the same time for a while, so we got to relax which was very nice.
After they woke up we got ready and headed off to Nate's parents' house for dinner. It was also a little going away party for Vernon and Melody Ibe (he is a student at the seminary). They are going back to the Phillippines this week. They will, DV, be having a baby at the end of July! We are very excited for them and wish them all the best as they travel for 26 hours to get home this week!
Now, I think I'm ready to head for bed. It's back to normal life tomorrow. Nate has to go back to work...it will be wierd without him around! The kids will miss him a lot, they got used to having him around every day.
