Despite the rough day previously with the color run, we still had a great Memorial Day weekend with the Kenyons.
Playing dress up
Such a benevolent princess
Richard is a man of many talents so we were randomly talking about how I wanted to get the dead tree removed. (Especially since I learned that the nice big green plant/weed that was growing up around the base and giving the space some green was actually poisonous.) And he offered to go remove it. I took him up on the offer. :)
Comfortably watching the pre-action outside.
Video - The great tree take down. It's pretty entertaining. :)
Richard and his conquest
Hm...now there's a big dead tree in my yard. What should we do to get rid of it??
The house behind us wasn't completed and still under construction so there was a ton of trash in the yard. I often picked weeds and threw them over the fence.
These two were play buddies this weekend.

Eventually Emmalyn would let Natalie pick her up. :)
That poor lump under there (Richard) was a good sport
All gone! It's so fantastic!
Richard and Peter also capped off the old sprinkler that went to the old tree and ran a new sprinkler to the new tree and this great sprinkler in my garden. I am incredibly excited about this. My garden is the real deal!
We cut some cilantro from the garden to use in our fresh salsa
Makenna and I went next door to help Mary Ann decorate for our swim party
Happily playing with the cars
All the kids having fun together
Let's swim!
The boys hanging out
Double rainbow for good luck
The swimming was cut short by thunderstorms
I LOVE summer food! I am looking forward to more grilling, more veggies, more salad!
The rain REALLY came down.
Since swimming was off the table thanks to the lightning, Maxwell and Makenna played Battleship.
Hanging out before bedtime. They all get along so well.
On Memorial Day, we headed to lunch at Zoe's and then went to a new place by us that is an obstacle place for kids to play - similar to the obstacles on the show "American Ninja Warrior", which Maxwell loves.
Trampoline fun
Climbing over things
Cargo net
The kids worked HARD. We bought 1 hour passes and half an hour in the kids were exhausted. Maxwell was dripping sweat.
So tired she's just hung out on the ground.
Unfortunately, the Kenyons had to drive home after we were done. We sure loved having them here! It was a memorable weekend!
We finished up Memorial Day with more grilling and time outside.
Water guns and umbrellas
It's not exactly a pool but it works in a pinch.
