We had a lovely Memorial Day holiday today, making the most of the sunshine since we’ve been drowning in rain the past few days! We started the day off with breakfast on the deck, per the kids’ request (which unfortunately ended in Becky getting an awful splinter from the deck that I couldn’t get out – thankfully our dear friend Carrie came over this evening for dinner and she was able to dig it out while I held Becky still and consoled her. I don’t think I’ve ever had to hold a kid in that much pain before. I felt so bad for sweet Becky, and I was so thankful that Carrie was willing to be the bad guy and inflict the pain that was necessary to help her heal):
Our friends joined us for our first boating outing of the season, and the kids were delighted to get to splash in the (freezing!) water:
Becky and Jimmy air-dried up on top of the tower:
And Becky also enlisted some cuddles to help her warm up:
Susie happily took her first tube ride of the year, and wowed us all with her bravery!
Jimmy also took a long tube ride. We definitely have another “Mable” lover!
Danny hung out with Jim’s mom while we were boating, and then was content to get passed around in the evening. He’s already a ladies’ man!
