The Long Weekend

It was a long weekend for many but with daddy working some overtime, it didn't feel like our typical Memorial Day Weekend.  We usually have our family tradition of going into the city to the marina and then watching a baseball game.  We also usually watch the Memorial Day parade in our neighborhood.  This year was a bit different.

Since daddy was working, mommy thought it would be a good time for Jaden and I to have a sleepover at grandma K's new house!  We were very excited and love packing our special suitcases!  Grandma picked us up Friday and after dinner, we went back to her house to get settled and to watch The Fox and the Hound.  We loved it since that it what we have been talking about since coming home!

 



 On Saturday, after our "grandma K" tradition of getting Tim Horton's, we met nae nae at the Marina with grandma.

 

On Sunday, we decided to take a walk at Tiff Nature Preserve so we could look for some animals!  Last year we saw a baby deer.  This year, the highlight was a bunch of baby geese and turtles. 

 Each year, our neighborhood has a Memorial Day parade.  The streets are shut down and all the town sports teams walk in the parade giving out candy.  There are lots of special vehicles and fire trucks.  We love being able to walk to the parade, collect all the candy and watch our neighbors who play on sports teams!  It is nice to see the town honor our veterans each year!  It was perfect weather and Avery slept through the whole thing!
