Memorial Day Weekend

We left Thursday and drove 13.5 hours to Sedro-Woolley to visit my family for the long weekend. It was raining in Great Falls when we left and rained/fogged the entire drive - it was great for driving and keeping the kiddos mellow. But, it did not stop for 3 days!! We had a 4 hour break on Sunday morning, but otherwise it rained the whole weekend. At least we weren't missing good weather back home - it rained here the entire weekend too! I could tell because my grass was 8 inches tall and the flower/vegetable gardens were mud! We made it back in 13 hours. The drive wasn't as bad as I expected so we'll probably do that again - all the way without an overnight stay. Loved seeing my parents, Grandpa Jack, and several cousins, so it really was a great trip!

Jessie, happy to be facing forward - finally!

Gracie and Emmett packed their own activity bags....Gracie can't go anywhere without her "accessories"! :-)

Emmett, chillin' in the back

We went to the beach on Saturday - it was FREEZING!

This is Pa teaching Emmett how to sink in the wet sand...

Looking for baby crab - NONE to be found! I've always found crab under the rocks - where were they?!

Happy to be in the rain-free fresh air!
