Memorial Day

Memorial Day is one of my favorites because it is the kick off to summer. Growing up, we would have to spend all day cleaning the house and doing yard work so the whole ward to come over for a BBQ and the ultimate slip-n-slide that evening. Over the years, the celebration has simplified, but it is always still a fun day. This year, we had acitivites at my parent's house. Dusty and Janecce were going to come, but Rita got sick the moment they drove up. We shot BB guns and bow and arrows, had a creative veggie face contest for snack, lots of arts and crafts, and hot dogs for lunch.

 

The girls were excited the the bow said "Brave" on it. We all pretended that we were Merida.

Maggie's first time shooting a gun.

Here are the results from the contest:

 

Dad's (simple but sweet)

Mom's (too creative for the rest of us)

Joe's (best ears)

Annie's (hariest)

Hailey's (Juicest smile)

Brooklyn's (rosiest cheeks)

This is what happens when there are only girls: lots and lots of art.
