Memorial Day Weekend-Saturday Fun

Dude, we are killing our summer bucket list, and loving every minute of it.

On Saturday, we threw together an impromptu BBQ with the Zebley's, Glovers, Meadows, and Nielsons.  Special shout out goes to Kasey for taking photos the whole night! We left our camera in OKC and as you can tell from recent posts, my phone doesn't take the greatest pictures.  Thanks, Kasey for documenting all the fun for us!

We had the kids bring their bikes and they decorated them with red, white, blue ribbons, crepe paper, star garlands, and pipe cleaners.

Bikes on parade! We're going to let the kids take their bikes to ride around at Tanyard Creek on Monday morning for the ward breakfast. I loved decorating my bike for 4th of July and Memorial Day as a kid, so it was fun to see the kids get creative with streamers, etc.  New tradition!

The food was incredible.  Everyone brought great stuff to share, there was a ton of food, and we just. kept. eating. The kids got sticky with watermelon and then caked in dirt in the backyard.

Glass bottled Crush sodas and snowcones added colored mustaches and an extra layer of sticky to the mix. The best thing about the snowcones was that the kids were already done with dessert and back to playing when Tia brought out the homemade ice cream for the grown ups to enjoy. :)

What a great night. The kids were great, the food was excellent, the company was wonderful and it was just a really nice, relaxing evening with some of our people.

An extra shout out to the girls.  Everyone hung around an extra 10 minutes and helped clean up.  Many hands made really light work, and a party with no mess leftover? Sign me up for another!  Thanks for a fun night, friends!
