Memorial Day weekend recap

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend. With so little school left for the year, I pretty much feel as though I'm in coasting mode when it comes to school. Based on the numerous activities that are scheduled for the kids this week, it doesn't sound as though there is going to be much homework coming home, and that is perfectly fine with me!

Saturday we had a large group photo appointment scheduled with two other families. One of these families is moving hundreds of miles away next week, and this was our last opportunity to get together. We had lots and lots of pictures taken, and I think they turned out wonderfully. We then had a cook out that lasted well into the night. Wonderful, wonderful memories. Sunday morning was brunch with my mom's family and then we headed straight up to Dad's place at the lake. It's been so unbelievably hot here lately, and Sunday was no exception. I felt like we didn't really do much, but Dad just enjoys having us there no matter what. We watched the Indy 500, and while I don't really follow auto racing, I enjoyed watching that with my dad. For years when I was child, Dad, my sister and I would be coming back from my grandparents' place in Coldwater, MI on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, and we would listen to the race as we were driving home. For a few minutes on Sunday, I felt like a little girl with my dad again. It was almost dark by the time we headed home Sunday night, and yesterday was another cook out. Still very hot, so we didn't stay terribly long.

Today, I feel absolutely wiped out. I know that I should find a way to be productive, but it just doesn't seem to be happening. I just got back from school because today was "have lunch with the fourth grader" day. JC and JR (and us coaches) have games this evening, and right now I'm just lacking motivation between activities. Maybe tomorrow!
