Memorial Weekend Get - A - Way!

So--Patric and I kept discussing what we were going to do for Memorial Weekend...if anything. I had basically decided we weren't going to do anything, we need to save money yadda yadda yadda. Well...the Emericks came over for dinner one day a few weeks ago and we were discussing Memorial Weekend. I had stated that we generally like to do something, especially beach related...and they were like, ooh, we're in! So then I was like, it could be fun to recruit the Near family as well, since Brendan is Josh's best friend. How fun would that be to have three four year old boys together for a weekend of sun, sand and waves? When I approached the Nears, they got back to me and said they were in! Off to Ward Realty I went to look for houses. We got a great home and had the best weekend. We all got a little burned...but I think we made some great memories and strengthened our friendships (at least I hope!!).

Here are some fun pics! (Because my camera actually decided to work this weekend, HOORAY!)

I may be a little biased here, but these three four year old boys are the coolest and cutest I know!

Digging in the sand is a must at the beach!

My favorite part of going to the beach is sitting and reading a good book.

Thanks to the Emerick Family and Near Family for wanting to go on this trip with us. I hope that we will be able to take many more like this in the future with friends!
