A Memorable Memorial Day

We had a fabulous Memorial Day. In reverse order, since I accidentally downloaded the pictures that way, we ended with a super delicious cook out with good friends. Unfortunatly, it was a good bye dinner, which took a little of the fun out of it. But the kids still enjoyed playing on their water slide and being together.

Even Sierra had a great time getting in on the fun and spraying the big kids.

I will always consider my friendship with Nancy one of my greatest blessings. Our early morning runs not only helped my physically, but mentally too. She was great such a great listener and inspired me in so many ways. I always knew I could count on her, I would have never been able to get up so early, if I didn't know that Nancy would be up waiting, and she would make those 5 miles a little less painful.

Our day also involved a trip to Peanut Island, where we snorkeled, swam, and enjoyed our friends' sail boat. We stayed a little too long on the beach and ended up getting marrooned. They graciously rowed us back in their dinghey.

The morning started with a beautful flag raising ceremony with the cub scouts. Dan shared some experiences as a soldier in Vietnam,

and the scouts taught us about the background and symbolism of our flag.

It was a great day.
