BBQ PLAYDATE

Since California and Mississippi spring breaks don't overlap in the least, the kids are distractedly slogging through their school days just to get back to seeing their buddies. They wish they could be with each other all day and all night (Manu has already invited them over to the hotel for a sleepover - no idea why Sopie and Alex vetoed that one...), but Sophie and Alex are actually here for work (both are still ERDC employees, they just work remotely), so the timing is working out just fine. Besides, they have a lot of friends to catch up with while they're in town, not just Team Lindsay (much to James' dismay). We have lots of plans for the week though, and this afternoon's BBQ was a great way for the kids to play while the adults hung out and had their own fun.

Teaching Manu all about Minecraft. For about 20 minutes.

Lauren is big enough to zip solo now!

Manu, James, Will, Cora, and Lauren in line to zip

Cora and Will spent a good chunk of time decorating the carport for us...

...with Lauren's help

Leo has gotten so tall and is speaking so much more (and his hair is every bit as soft as it looks!)

The kid table is getting wild these days...

Laser lights to end the night...
