What an awesome three day weekend we had...so relaxing. Brad and Cole decided last Thursday that they wanted to go to the lake. Last Thursday. The Thursday before Memorial Day. Ummm no. I checked a couple of places in Hot Springs and Eureka Springs and, of course, there was nothing available. Plan B.
Instead, we spent the long weekend at the Leawood pool and getting items checked off the honey-do-list. With all four of us working in the yard, we had the yard mowed, flower beds weeded and everything blown off in under two hours! New record. We also rearranged furniture and culled a lot of household items that are no longer any use to us but could be used for someone starting a home. We have donated a truck load of furniture to the Boy Scouts for their annual rummage sale and a storage locker full of building materials to Habitat for Humanity. Wow, it feels good to get rid of stuff that can help someone else.
Sunday afternoon we made time for a little fun by going bowling. Oooh, I forgot how good Brad is at bowling. Needless to say, he creamed us all.

So cute.
After bowling, we headed to Dickey Stephens park to get a great view of the fireworks. We got there when they opened the gates (6:30) and then had a couple of hours of fun before the show.
The boys played this crazy game where they stand in the outfield with a huge net and try to catch balls that guys were sending their way with a huge slingshot.

Cole caught one....

....and so did Spencer! Awesome!
Brad and I played the World Championship Egg Toss. Uh huh. Egg. As in raw. I tied a towel around my neck so I wouldn't get icky egg on my favorite blue shirt. However, Brad should have been the one with the towel because on our second toss, he got splattered! Yuck! So much fun.
The fireworks did not fail to disappoint.

Beautiful. Aren't we so blessed to live in a country where men and women serve every day to keep us free. Thank you just doesn't seem enough.
The next few days will be crazy as Cole and I get ready to go back to LA. I hope you had a relaxing weekend.
