Memorial Day was packed full of things to do! It would have been great to go to a Memorial Day celebration/remembrance but we didn't find out about the one on base until it was to late! Oh well, I think that will be on our plan for celebrating next year. Babe had a lot of school work to do anyway and had to spend most of the day at school working on school work which was a bummer but at least he had the free day to work on it!
Gabriel has started to learn to weed wack and since Daddy is buried in studies and hasn't had time to work on the backyard we wanted Gabriel to help out so he and Grandpa J spent the morning out there working and it was A LOT of work but they go it DONE!! So nice for Babe not to have that on his mind as something to get done!
In the afternoon we were able to cross many things off our list of "Things to do when Grandpa and Grandma are here . . ." Picnic-check, paddle boating-check, climb trees-check, Dennis the Mennace Park-check. Not bad for one day!!! Babe did make it to some of the fun in the afternoon when the kids were playing in the park. The picture above shows him on the climb aboard train with Rosser. My hubby is so good looking! I'm thankful!
Gabriel and Grandpa worked hard!
Paddle boating with Ross steering was interesting to say the least. We definitely got peoples attention going into the trees and Grandpa yelling!
The kids LOVED feeding the geese unfortunately the geese had left a lot of leftovers on the ground making it hard to let Carson out to roam around! YUK!
The train at the playground is definitely a hit with the kids! It's amazing the playground has kept it with all the safety concerns of today! I remember climbing around on an old train as a kid in the summer when my parents would take us to get ice cream sundae's! So fun!
Our little chilly Memorial Day picnic lunch at a park in Monterey.

Even though this climbing time was set aside for Ross, Annalina and Gabriel had a great time too, in fact, it was one of their favorite parts of the day.
Grandpa hanging out with Ross in a tree!
Ross, a very happy boy to be climbing trees!
This was something Ross wanted to do was climb these trees. He had been here before and enjoyed climbing around and wanted to come back to these trees!

Grandpa, is this fun?!!
The boys love running around Dennis the Mennis playground! Gabriel and Ross have so much fun together here and Gabriel is excellent about watching where Ross is which is very helpful since this is a BIG playground and I only have one pair of eyes!
They went a bit more slowly down this slide than Grandpa did!
Grandpa and Carson enjoyed their time together and definitely hit it off!!
