Faster, Faster!!

We spent Memorial Day getting ready for the Wrights and Harrisons. The Wrights (Tim’s family) have had us over a couple of times and it was time to reciprocate. Instead of doing the usual, which is ordering from Capozzi’s or Mellow Mushroom, Kevin hooked up the grill and fired it up with Max’s help. The men grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and I “prepared” potato salad and baked beans (thanks Publix – yum). It was a success! The burgers were delicious and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

The kids played in the pool for a little while, but Joshua is not a fan of getting splashed in the face (it's going to be a long summer for him since it seems like all toddlers like to do is splash each other in the face) so pool time quickly came to an end. Moving on to more fun activities - we busted out the jeep for the boys and they sure had fun! Driving the jeep was one huge giggle fest!

The boys decided that they needed a break from their road, I mean grass trip. Joshua wanted what his father, Jenn and Kate were having - a nice cold one! Way to get Kate and Joshua to follow in their parents' footsteps. Luckily no tequila on Memorial Day!

After having a few refreshments, the boys decided it was time to jump back in the jeep. The pool was put away and it was getting hot so the boys put on their hats to help keep them cool.

Uh-oh, the Jeep wasn't going fast enough for the boys so Joshua went to check out the engine to make sure that everything was in working order. Thank heavens it doesn't go any faster!

What a day! I think the Harrisons will cross their fingers and hope for another girl when it's time for them to start thinking about number 2. Joshua and Tim may have traumatized these two for sure!
