Memorial Weekend

 Unfortunately this is the only picture I got of the food we ate all weekend. But we started it out by having cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped hot dogs with curly fries and corn. When Paula and Asa arrived we ate enchiladas with home made chile sauce, sopapillas and guac. We also made a huge breakfast of eggs benedict (California style), amazing french toast, sausage and cantaloupe.
 Monday (after eating a huge breakfast) we spent all afternoon working in the yard. Paula got us some beautiful flowers and Brad and Asa got all the pots ready and the sprinkler system up and running.

 Brad found a garter snake in the sprinkler system control box, it nearly scared him to death. When he opened the box to set up the system the snake sprang out at him! Below is the final result of the three main pots, but we also planted daisies in the front along with marigolds and in two other backyard pots we planted tomato and cilantro! I love looking in the back and seeing all the color.



 Paula and Asa also brought tons of entertainment. We played a bunch of Qwerkle and then enjoyed a water fight while the pool was inflating.




We really enjoyed relaxing on the patio while the kids splashed. Brad and Asa also got a little BB shooting in, which was tricky because there was a breeze blowing their target around!
