Memorial Day Weekend

We had very few obligations this long weekend, which felt great. Frida had a vet appointment and the rest was up to us.
Spencer joined us for a few days. Claire was overjoyed that he was home. Sadly, this is the only photo I took. I was doing some work in another room when Spencer texted me that Dad and Frida had fallen asleep on top of him. Of course I went to check it out.
We've had an old Honda motorcycle sitting unused for years now. We finally got it up and running, so Lucian and Papa Dave went for some rides. Kyle loves the bike and wears his helmet to ride his motorcycle "chicken" (the name he picked).


Claire loves to practice reading. She found Frida can be both a great listener as well as a backrest.
We set up the slip n' slide one day and the bounce house the next. The kids were entertained while I planted some vegetables in the garden box.

We took a long bike ride on a nearby paved trail. We ended the ride at a park with a beer garden. We don't mess around;)
And I finally got around to using some rhubarb from my parents' house. Strawberry rhubarb pie is Lucian's favorite! I don't mind it either.
