Kick-Off to Summer

Memorial Day is such a fun holiday. It's totally the kick-off to summer. And summer is all about picnics, playing outside, painting your toenails, swimming, hiking, and much, much more.


We had a couple picnics on Memorial Day. Our first one was at Nelson's Grove Park in Orem (best park ever!).






We had fun watching this mother duck with her nine babies.









This was our second picnic at Fox Field. We went to Wendy's and Arby's which was a pretty big deal since the last time we went out to eat was on Valentine's Day.

Now we just have a 4-day work week ahead of us before yet another weekend. Woo hoo! Love holidays!

I love Memorial Day too! I agree that it's the unofficial beginning to summer. We also went picnicing up the canyon. It was great!

Are you kdding? The last time you have eaten out is Valentines day? Nice job on that one. I wish we could do that. And I see your glitter toes are gone! One and a half of mine peeled off but I'm hanging on still. It is so tempting to pull them off, though. I see what you mean now. :-)
