Here in the US, we are celebrating the Memorial Day holiday with a 3 day weekend. Memorial Day is a day to remember and honor those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom, which is a humbling thing to think about.
We have used this 3 day weekend to get away and are hanging out on the Colorado River with some family. We have had a great weekend, and I wanted to share some of the highlights with my Steemit friends.
Kendra (now 8 months old) got to go on her first boat day with the family, and was a real trooper. She was up for anything, and put up with the baby life jacket that is almost as confining as a straight jacket... but safety first right! We pulled out a little kiddie pool at the house for her to play in, and she enjoyed sitting in it and splashing for a long time!
Jacob enjoyed playing in the water, and especially liked hanging out on the shore and playing in the mud with some small construction toys. We were able to fit in a little fishing, and the time spent with cousins was a big highlight for him.
We have enjoyed the family time this weekend and just came back from a great fireworks display that we watched from the boat to celebrate the holiday. Although we are all feeling wiped out at this point on a busy weekend, it has been a much needed reprieve from the daily grind. Here are some pictures from this weekend:
Now if I could only take a vacation day to recover from the vacation... 🤔
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
