We had so much fun Memorial weekend. Jared took off Friday and had Monday off, so we had a four day weekend and didn't have any plans. On Thursday night we went hiking in the mountains with Jared's co-worker Brad and his family. It was a lot of fun. At first none of the girls wanted to walk so that was a little tricky, but on the way back they ran up the hill for about 1/2 mile. The way back to the car was so nice and the sun was setting. It was a great start to our weekend!
Friday night we decided to go camping in our back yard, and of course that means having a bonfire too:). The girls loved the smore's and were SO dirty! Good thing we were camping :) If it were up to Jared we would camp all the time, so we're "practicing" in our back yard before we venture out into the wilderness.
Saturday morning we went to the sand dunes about 1 1/2 hours away. On our way there we bought 3 bunnies at a garage sale. I think we'll only really keep one of them, but the girls are enjoying them for now.
The sand dunes were really fun for the first little bit, but then it got WAY too hot. Luckily there was a lake right there also so the girls all went swimming. They loved it.
Sunday we relaxed and then Monday we went to the park close to our house and practiced batting with our new baseball bat and balls (also from the garage sales) Then we went to a free water park. Close to the water park there is a river/creek that Jared wanted to jump into. When he put his foot in the water he realized it was REALLY cold. So he was having second thoughts. He told me that I should jump in and I said "okay I'll do it". So I went and jumped in the river. It felt so good! It was definitely cold, but it just felt really good to clear my mind. Jared decided since I jumped in he'd now have to :) So he jumped in too. (We'll post a movie later).
We had a lot of fun that weekend. Good thing I have a husband who likes to have fun and enjoy life... otherwise I might have spent all weekend cleaning. Nature is much more fun!!

How fun! I'm glad you didn't end up cleaning all weekend either! ;) Hiking, camping, swimming, batting, and buying bunnies is much more memorable!
That is a seriously packed weekend - how fun! We were bummed that we couldn't hang out on Monday; we'll have to figure out another time!
Wow! What a great weekend!! I don't remember you being THAT adventuresome in highschool. It sounds like you had a lot of fun and made it a lot of fun for the girls!
So where were the girls while you two were jumping into rivers?
