Memorial Day Memories

We had Tyler, Colton, Wesley and Dakota spend Saturday with us so that Brent and Emily could get their rental home ready for the new tenant. The kids LOVE to play with one another. They have built a "condo" out of branches and leaves in our dried up lake bed. I had planned on Tacos for dinner but my Hubbie convinced me that we had to grill hamburger and hotdogs. Tacos just aren't an American food for our American Holiday. Todd was able to spend the day with us as well since his travel plans were changed.(I have a great picture of the kids and Uncle Todd along the pool until I noticed that Todd is showing plumber's crack...so it's not on the blog)

Then on Sunday, we took the boat and the Criste family to Disappearing Island. It's called Disappearing Island because when the tide comes in...the island (which I think is actually a HUGE sand bar) is under a couple of inches of water. The pictures are of us trying to move things out of the water, but eventually you just give up and know that everything is going to get wet...that's part of the fun of the island. Being that is was Memorial weekend, the island was so crowded which is part of the fun...you end up making new friends. A couple of neat things happened. One was three F14 Fighter planes fly above us in a formation and then antique Mustang Fighter planes fly above. It made you salute!
