Memorial Day Weekend and 1st Day of Summer School

This Memorial Day we had somewhat of a "stay-cation" in the Columbia area.  At least we didn't go any farther than 1 hour in any one direction.

Our first stop was at the Firefighter Memorial.  We drive by this everyday and have never stopped in so with all the extra flags the girls were intrigued and we stopped there Friday evening on our way home from daycare.

Abby is always quite the poser

On Saturday we went out to the farm so take our friend Colleen out there so she could see it and we brought Tim lunch.  He's been working on 30+ acres to get it ready to plant beans.  He has done a lot of brush hogging and tree removal.  Hopefully this weekend they will plant some beans.  We did make some circle bales of hay though on Saturday - you can see one on the left side.  It's our first official act of "farming".  The girls loved how the bales were "pooped" out of the machine.  Colleen enjoyed her tour and 4-wheeler ride.  I enjoyed the fact that the "shouse" has AC.

First day of Summer School  - Megan is packing up her bag too!

Abby is very proud of her backpack - had to have a photo of that all by itself.

Today was also the first day of "all day school" as Abby likes to call it.  Summer School for Kindergarten started.  We had all our outfits picked out and lunch packed and were ready to go this morning.  We all walked (Megan too) to the gym for the first day's roll call.  Abby was pretty excited but I think was getting a little hesitant the longer she had to wait.  Her name was finally called and she got in line - Megan ran after her to giver her a hug and a kiss, it was too cute for words.  Then Megan and I walked back to daycare and discussed in detail when preschool will start as that is her next concern in life.  So tonight we'll get all the details of "all day" school. 

That wraps up our weekend - we all enjoyed the sun, a little too much probably, but got some good outdoor time, swimming, and boating done.  We probably didn't do hardly anything off of our lists of things that actually needed to be done - but they'll still be on the list tomorrow.
