Memorial Day weekend has always been one of my favorites. It is the unofficial kick off of the summer, and many years (at least since moving here) we are done with school. I loved the years we did the cemetery trip with my mom's family, and when Dad had his cottage we tried to spend a day there as well. As a child, Dad would often take us to my grandparent's place in Michigan. There were lots of friends gatherings over the years as well, and of course it is often a weekend filled with graduation festivities. And of course, we get an extra day to the weekend, too! This was so incredibly needed as the month of May was beyond crazy at work.
This weekend had some grad parties with very dear friends, it had quiet time with just Andrew and myself, I tried to shop (unsuccessfully), and we had a lovely day with the kiddos. There has been a tremendous amount of stress and drama involving the kids, and it was so much fun to hang out today for a meal and then a family game of croquet. I laughed, and I especially loved hearing my daughter-in-law laugh out loud. In two weeks we will be on vacation with all of us, and I think it is going to be an incredibly special week where we make lots of memories.
We have a lot of fun plans for this summer, and I plan to soak it all up!
