"Memorial Day is a federally observed holiday on the last Monday of May every year in the US. Formally known as "Decoration Day", it honors US soldiers that have died while in the service. First enacted to honor Union Soldiers of the Civil War, it was extended after WW1 to honor Americans who have died in all wars." -http://memorialday2011.org
This Memorial weekend, we started off with a DATE NIGHT for Charles and I! Saturday night, Gamee and Grampee watched Cade while we went to the Movies and Pele Pele for dinner. It was such a relaxing and fun night! The best part was going to bed about 9:30pm! :)
On Sunday, we woke up and went and had coffee and crepes together before meeting up with Charles' family that evening for a BBQ. The food was amazing! They had bacon wrapped shrimp, pork chops, steaks, fruit kabobs, fresh corn and rolls. It was so good! We were also surprised when they gave us some gifts for Caelin! She is so spoiled. Charles's Brother Christopher and his wife Heather gave Caelin a hard back book with a sweet note written in it. It was Eric Carle's "The Hungry Caterpillar". Gamee and Grampee also got Caelin an outfit that says, "Apple of My Eye". This was so special to me cause that is what my Gangaw called me. So, Caelin will be perfect in that outfit!
On Monday, we woke up and made omelets together. Cade ate most of the bacon before we could actually get it in the omelets, but we still had fun. After a short nap around noon, we all went to Sally's house for swimming and snacks. Let's just say all the exercise we did in the pool may have been futile with the chicken salad, pasta salad, cookies, fruit, and bean dip! Cade had a blast jumping off the diving board and showing off for everyone. He loved getting spoiled by Sally, Echo and Lisa who were constantly handing him cookies! Needless to say, it was a great weekend with family and friends!
