Memorial Day Weekend

This was a great weekend to kick back, relax, and spend some time with family. Friday we did our usual pizza night with Mom, Mark, and Maren. Adam had to work on Saturday morning but surprised me by getting home around 1:00. We got to take a nap together and just hang out for a while before going out to eat with Mom and then to the movies with Mark and Maren. We went to see the new Indiana Jones movie. It was great! On Sunday we just hung around and relaxed. Mom came over for a little bit and we took Chloe for her first real walk. It was so funny! She actually did a pretty good job of heading straight down the sidewalk, with the occasional distraction of sniffing something in the grass or checking out people and other dogs.

We walked over to King Kone to get some ice cream, and boy did Chloe like that!

After Mom went home Adam and I decided we should get out and enjoy the warm weather some more so we decided to go for a drive. We went out on Cemetary Rd. and Adam showed me this cute little park out by an old dam on the I&M canal. I didn't even know it existed! It's so beautiful out there. Might be a great place to go on a picnic!

After that we ended up eating dinner at Turtle's and then meeting up with Eric & Mary for a little while at Tully Monster (formerly known as Fool's).

Today we got to sleep in again (YES!) and take our time getting up. We went over to Debbie & Dana's this afternoon. The whole family came over to celebrate Memorial Day and Dana's birthday. Eric cooked ribs (YUM!) and Debbie made potato salad and baked beans. I brought cookies and the kids made Dana a birthday cake. We had some GOOD FOOD! It was so great to just hang out, eat good food, and enjoy the beautiful weather. I think it was somewhere around 84 degrees today with the sun shining and a perfect little breeze.

Happy Birthday Dana!

Keihn had a blast walking Chloe around the yard!

This was so hilarious...Chloe went under the picnic table and Keihn followed her so the leash wouldn't get tangled. Well she decided to follow him around and they both got tangled under the picnic table!

How could you not love this face?!

Me and my sweetie!

I got to end the weekend by talking to my Dad on the phone tonight. I wish I could see him more often, but at least I get to talk to him on the phone!
