Happy Memorial Day!!

Okay, so this is going to be another long post with lots of pictures again. Sorry they have been so long lately but we've been busy. Anyway here we go....

ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER

So, the other night Ryan and I were searching the house for a binky. Hayden has had so many and they always get lost. We looked everywhere and were getting so bugged! Finally Ryan found it. If you look closely you can see her dang binky down in the tube with the balls. Hayden definitely keeps us on our toes.

The weather has been gorgeous the last few days so we have been outside enjoying it. On Saturday we discovered this awesome park. It has a bunch of trails, huge trees, a lake, a beach, a huge playground, wildlife and a lot more. So, Saturday we went on a hike and checked it out.

Hayden was having fun riding in the pack. She was really enjoying all the sights. She was pointing and talking about everything.

You can't tell very well in this picture, but those are little turtles on the rock. It had a few more on it but they jumped in the water when we walked up. Ryan was very excited about the turtles. When we checked out another part of the lake there were some people feeding the fish. There were swarms of the biggest carp I have ever seen. It was so nasty. I tried to get a picture but Ryan thinks it's weird that I would want to take a picture of carp. He hasn't fully excepted my blogging ways yet.

After church on Sunday, we went back to the same park with my brothers fam. We hauled in our new little charcoal grill and had a BBQ. It was so nice!

Then last night, Hayden discovered the joys of a box. That's right, a box. She literally played with this box for over an hour. It was hilarious. She turned it upside down and climbed on top. She climbed in it. She threw things in it, and then she did it all over again. Wouldn't it be so nice to be so easily entertained?!

Today we went to Caboose Park (hence the big Caboose) and had a Memorial Day picnic with our ward. We ate and played and played some more. It was so fun. Hayden loves being outside so she was having a blast. Later, the adults played a game of Softball. Ryan did a pretty good job of showing off his skills :)

Here is Ryan playing with the kids. He was actually proving to me that he could go across the whole thing with no hands. Nice work, babe.

I love this picture. She looks so sweet.

And I love this picture because it is so Hayden... Just so happy!!

We're excited for more grilling tonight and then Ryan's back to work tomorrow. What a bummer. At least we had an awesome weekend and were able to enjoy being outside. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday, too!
