Memorial Day weekend

What a great Memorial Day weekend. The weather was sunny and warm for 2 of the 3 days, and we spent all our time together - just enjoying everything. We spent a majority of the weekend outside: biking, planting, building a raised vegtable garden, picnicing. It was so nice! We went for a short stroll to the great lookout point with amazing views of the Cascades, fortunately we remembered the camera, but unfortunately I forgot to put the memory card back in. We'll make it to that viewpoint again, I'm sure.

The highlight of the weekend for Campbelle was her bike riding. Early on Saturday morning, I all of a sudden hear a 'MOM MOM MOM MOM' come screaming down the sidewalk. Much to my amazement it is Campbelle, totally biking on her own. I think it scared her a bit - thus the panic call for mom. See, she has been working for a few days since getting her new, big girl bike sans training wheels. She's had the hang of it, but is always too afraid to ride without Leif running along side her, never knowing if he's holding on or not. But, after watching the video of her friend Aidyn riding bike, I think she felt more determined then ever. Now, after 3 days of constant riding - she's doing little tricks (standing up) and screeching to a hault - in order to leave skid marks on the sidewalk (aren't you proud Madison!!?)



And please overlook the fact that this dude is not wearing his helmet. (he usually does, honestly he does. I like his brain too much.) Somehow it went unnoticed this time.

A great weekend -- Family fun and nice weather.... the best way to spend the days!
