Memorial Day

Our ward had a picnic to celebrate Memorial day and Brother Martinez 70th Birthday. He was so excited to be turning the big 7-O. He had told us about it back in November.

Luke went early and played softball with the men. He sometimes forgets that he isn’t as young as he once was and slid into home plate and scraped up his leg pretty good. He was SAFE so that is all that mattered to him. Now he is limping around and sore but still happy he didn’t get out.

We joined them at the park for the kids to play and for us to enjoy some GOOD food. Our ward is famous for being able to have a amazing meals and TONS of food.

Then it was off to the lake to enjoy playing with cousins. It was such a beautiful day the lake was full to capacity when we got there so we had to go to a friends house by the lake and they picked us up in the boat to take us back to the beach and picnic area. I thought the water would be really cold but it wasn’t too bad and felt good since it was so hot.

After the lake we headed out for ice cream. The kids were so cute looking into the freezer and seeing 20 different kids of ice cream. They looked, got a big smile and looked back like really I get to pick any of those. Micali went for Superman. She couldn’t get past the bright colors. Eli just wanted pink and the only pink one was Cherry Limeade and Abigail couldn’t make up her  mind. She just kept pointing out all of them. Since I figured I would be helping her out by the end I picked Mint chocolate chip for her. Here is their sweet faces while they were in their little heaven.

Micali finished hers in no time and asked for another one! She couldn’t believe when we told her one was enough.

Our cousins Emma and Jackson were so cute with their ice cream I had to add them in too!
