Memorial Day 2012
John and I took the kids to a local state park for a hike on Memorial Day. Austin LOVED it. I think he talked the entire time...he liked the waterfalls, the trees, the bugs, the creek, etc etc. Ellie did REALLY well...for Ellie. She didn't complain until we were 1/2 way done. That is pretty good for her. All in all it was a nice day.
A great day for a hike and a great day for an ice cream treat on the way home.

Austin's first tie
So, Austin, and the rest of us, were going to attend Jordan's wedding. This is Austin's first cousin to get married. I assume there will be lots more weddings to attend, since Austin has 11 other cousins! But, this was the first time that I thought that Austin was old enough to actually wear a tie to an event.
Austin was pretty excited about a tie. He wanted a "clip-on" tie because a friend of his had one. I bought a clip-on tie and a zip-up tie (if anyone has seen one of those). Well, they weren't quite right, so I went ahead and bought a "real" tie. Lucky for me, Austin was okay with the real tie.
John and Austin got ready together. Super cute to see them! Austin seemed pretty proud of his tie and as a brave little guy on a 93 degree Saturday, he wore that tie until half way through the reception when 2 of his other cousins went to play Frisbee with him outside. At that point he took it off. Talk about a hot, sweaty day!
My little boy is all grown up!

Ellie's Art Show
I have so many things to update! (John and I have been busy watching Downton Abbey in the evenings - which has been keeping me AND the computer busy so my blog posts have been lacking). Hopefully, I'll make up for one or two postings tonight, before we watch the next episode...
Ellie had her Art Show at school the other day. They did a great job with lots of art exhibits, videos, docents explaining how the art was created and a mosaic in progress that everyone could add to. It was fun to see what Ellie and her friends have made in art this year and then we enjoyed a treat at McDonald's on the way home. Enjoy the pictures!
