Memorial Day

Well ... better late than never.

We had a nice long Memorial Day weekend. Friday Eric and I didn't work but we got tickets to go down to the speedway to the Delphi Suite. So we sent the boys to daycare and headed to the track. What a circus! When we finally parked the car and got inside, we saw about three or four laps of practice before the rain came and that was it. We did get to go down to the garage which was pretty cool cause they were bringing all the cars in from the rain. It was a pretty fun day even though it rained.
Saturday we decided to take the family out for a picnic in the park. Dayton had a ball. Here is a picture of when we first got there. We tried to stay away from the playground but Dayton saw it right away and wanted to go there. We managed to get some lunch in him before he gave up and started making a break for it. Here he is picking dandelions!


Dayton was thrilled to be at the park and he did great! He really likes the swings and thought it was pretty cool that Carson was "winging" too! They both wore themselves out ... it was great!


Sunday we decided to head up to Chicago and visit friends of ours ... Eric and Ellen. So we left right after lunch and the boys both slept the whole ride up there. Even after two years of this, it still amazes me how much stuff we need to take just for an overnight trip. The boys did really well, though and Eric and Ellen were very gracious and patient hosts. Thank you very much you guys!!! They are an hour behind us, however, which bit us in the butt. Both kids were up at 5:30am since they don't adjust to the time change. Made for a really long day on Monday ... it was a tough ride back home. It was a lot of fun though and really great to see Eric and Ellen again. We really don't do that enough. Thanks again you guys!!!
