Memorial Day Weekend

Such a fun weekend spent with family and friends! We really lucked out with the weather, as the forecast was looking pretty dreary for most of the week leading up to weekend. By Monday night, the girls were SO exhausted!

My parents were in town to help out with new baby Calvin, so they stopped over at Erin's house on Saturday for a playdate. Papa always has the best ideas. Ha!


We also broke out the sprinkler. It was still a little chilly, but 4 year olds don't mind!



They picked out these new chairs on a trip to Target. I asked Avery what they were doing here and she told me "drying off and enjoying the sunshine". Yep!


We made a few trips to a new park near us. It is at an elementary school and massive! It's hard to keep track of the kids when we go.


On Sunday, we hosted a BBQ. Matt smoked some meat overnight for the BBQ. Here he is prepping it... his head is included so you get a feel for the massive amount of meat he made.



The girls getting ready for their guests to arrive. We were definitely lucky that the weather was nice. Otherwise we would have had a lot of kiddos in our house! I didn't take many pictures at the BBQ, but it was chaos! I think there were 12 kids age 6 and under running around. Luckily, the adults (barely) outnumbered the kids, so we were able to keep them under control. My sister said it was a parenting win because there were no major injuries! :)






What's the best way to wear out two 4.5 year olds? Make them run bases! That new park we've been going to also has a couple of baseball diamonds. Matt timed the girls rounding the bases and they both have a little competitive streak in them! Especially Avery!







Back at our house, we finished off the weekend with a little more water play in the backyard. The Wilken crew came over to help us eat the leftovers from the BBQ. Definitely love these long weekends we get to spend relaxing at home with the fam!


I keep forgetting to get pictures of all the kiddos together! This is the best I had on my phone... all of them in one picture.
