The beginning of Summer!

Of course, Memorial Day is the unofficial beginning of summer. And I love Memorial Day. This year Marty was home, not working at all. I was so happy. 

Sunday we took the kids to my moms to play for a few hours so we could go to the Memorial Day ceremony at Fort Custer National Cemetery. It's always a very beautiful ceremony. But it's very hard to take young kids to something like that and have them cooperate the whole time. 
Military plane fly over. So cool! They flew over 3 times, and I got a video!
Presenting of the colors!

We went back to my moms after the ceremony for dinner with her, my grandma and the kids. Ribs, veggies and potatoes. It was so good. After dinner, we played outside; catch and basketball. The kids also played in the kiddie pool my mom has. They loved it. We let them spend the night with her that night.

Marty and I spend the evening and night going to South Haven. We had a nice walk on the beach and pier. And really we were just able to spend some much needed couple time together, without the kids.
On the pier, not the best picture.

Monday we picked up the kids and headed out to Papa and Grandmas house for dinner with the family. Dad made huge elk burgers. They were so big, I couldn't finish mine. We also had pasta salad and fruit. It was very good.

We had a great weekend and I had so much fun! Hope you enjoyed your weekend as well!

Dance, dance, dance!

Mackenzie had her very first dance recital last night! She did so well. Her whole group did, of course. It had to be the cutest thing ever!

Mackenzie's class were sailors! The did a little dance to "By The Sea". They wore poofy white and blue dresses and little white sailor hats. There were no real ballet moves at their age, just balance and coordination. But adorable, none the less.

She wants to dance again in the summer classes and next fall. I'm excited for her!
