We went to a barbeque at a friends' house Saturday evening where we played outside and enjoyed some grilled food, cold drinks and time with friends. Alyssa had a particularly fun time, playing with the other kids, she didn't want to come home and the next morning she wanted to go back. Sunday, the weather didn't cooperate for many outdoor activities, but today the sun was shining. We knew it was to be a hot day, so we headed out for the first time on our bikes with the girls in the bike trailer. While we thought it worked pretty slick, Lauren didn't like it too much. We had to stop a few times to calm her down. The trailer pulls really nice although it does take a little more muscle to get you, your bike & the girls up hills. Aaron did most of the heavy lifting, although I did "carry" the girls for a while.

Then this evening Lauren enjoyed crawling around in the grass and Alyssa had a blast digging and playing in her brand new sandbox (thanks to Aaron for that!). We all enjoyed dinner out on the deck until the mosquitoes started biting.
The mosquitoes have been quite fierce this past week, to the point we wouldn't allow the girls to go outside most of the week. Just walking out to get the mail and newspaper would result in several bites, so it was time to stay indoors. We invested in an Off clip-on though for Lauren and it works like a charm, so I think we made it through the day today bug bite free for the girls.
We hope you too had a fun Memorial Day weekend, and we look forward to seeing many of you over the course of the summer!

Too cute! Glad you guys had fun..we did too! We'll have to go for bike rides once I finally get a bike. Did Aaron build the sandbox? We're thinking about building one for Gav, so we'll take any advice you guys have!
