Memorial Weekend

This was another beautiful weekend. It was Memorial Weekend and we spent it back home with family.

Saturday we trekked back to the farm. It will be nice when Hayden understands how far it actually is to Grandma Diddle's and not ask every ten minutes if we are closer. Although her sense of time and distance IS pretty good.  :-)

Flowers for Grandma Rufenacht and Aunt Lena

Heather, Chad and the kids were there and then Dana and Aliza a little later.  Hayden instantly took off to play with her buddy Talyn and Abbie had no choice but to be held by Grandpa, Aunt Heather and Grandma.  She's learning to be content with that...as long as you're moving she's fine with anyone  holding her ;-) . 

Late night campfire included bat chasing

We had a cookout with some of mom and dad's friends. Beautiful weather: windows open, shade, breeze, no swarms of flies, and good food. Then to finish off the night there was   a bonfire with banana s'mores (Pinterest recipe fail, although we have some good modifications in mind for next time).

Sunday we visited Nana and Papa John in Clinton.  Its always great to just be at their house and spend the day with them.  The girls of course passed out on the short trip to Clinton, which was a good thing.  Aunt Shirley stopped by for a bit as well and got to see the girls and we got to hear how cousins Haddie, Laine, and Morgan are doing.  

The girls were more than ready to head back home and fell asleep before we left Clinton.
