Memorial Day and the Museum

We had a great Memorial Day weekend.  Saturday we went to see Night at the Museum 2, which was a pretty cute movie and like all sequels, not as good as the first one.  Sunday's worship was sweet and Kelsie had a friend over for the afternoon spent the night - they had a great time playing and we just had a relaxing afternoon hanging out at the house.  Monday afternoon we had our Bible Fellowship class out to the farm house.  Wayne smoked ribs all afternoon and everyone brought their favorite Memorial Day food which meant that we had WAY TOO MUCH food.  It was a blast to hang out with everyone and the kids all seemed to have a ton of fun just being outside and playing together.  The Jones' brought the go cart out and the kids just played on the $9 slip n'slide, trampoline and swing.  We roasted s'mores later in the evening and the ones who were left at dusk caught fire flies.  I didn't get tons of picture because I was either running around doing stuff or visiting.  Here are a few I managed to capture.

The go cart was fun at the farm house - the kids (and adults) took turns riding and driving it.

The slip n'slide quickly turned into a mud pit but was visited often through out the hot day.

Wayne, the grillmaster, at work.

The line waiting on the go cart.  They waited patiently in between the trampoline and the slip n'slide.  

The tree swing was fun!

So was the trampoline.

The girls had some girl talk inside to get away from the heat for a while.

Little Jillian - don't take my picture!

Today was Kelsie's 4th grade field trip to the Dallas Museum of Natural History.  It was a fun museum and we got to see the exhibits as well as an IMAX movie.  Some pics:

Kelsie's classmates - Abigail, Alyson, Alyssa.  They had a good time.

Watch this.

OOOOoooohhhh.  This sneezed on me!

Lunch time before the IMAX movie.  A GREAT day!

House Update - we found out today that our closing on the new house will be Monday, July 6th.  We are very excited!  Over the weekend, they finished the stone on the fireplace and installed the front door.  Today they put in all the toilets, sinks, faucets and fixtures as well as the air conditioning compressors and thermostats, all the light switches, plates and plug covers.  YAY!  I will take some pics later in the week as progress continues to be made.  Hope you have a good week.  This is our last week of school and we are ready for SUMMER!!!!
