Our Memorial Day Weekend started with a sleepover (Friday-Saturday), included a visit to the Beane Farm baby pigs (Sunday), and ended with a giant (steep!) slip-n-slide (Monday)! Well, technically it ended with Jay smoking a pork butt and brewing a beer, but I didn't take any pictures of that deliciousness.
When I walked into Baskin Robbins after Daycamp with these four, a sweet older man asked me if they were all mine. I told him yes, but just for 24 hours. This photo was taken right before Coltin made the "crazy" hand gesture at me and pointed to the girls. He is so right... (Don't worry, the photo was taken in the parking lot before I started driving.)
The bonus of doing a sleepover after their first day of Daycamp is that they were all exhausted and nobody fought bedtime. The girls built a fort in which to watch movies on the tiny DVD player while the boys played Lego Dimensions, and they were all asleep by 9:00pm!
James was far more patient (and quiet and calm) with the piglets than Cora, so he was able to sit still and wait for them to come to him (whereas Cora only pet the piglets that Nathan or James were holding).
We met the mama and papa (heritage stock) pigs while were there and the kids fed them some greens while being careful not to get shocked by the electric fence.
Over at the Hancock's house on Monday, the kids got wet and muddy, but thankfully followed our rules (no head first sliding!) The girls wore leggings because the grass was scratchy (if you happened to slide off course a little). The slide ended against the very big and very soft blow-up baby pool (to ensure nobody kept sliding into the driveway!)
I felt so bad for Stirlin's lawn, but he assured me they do this every year and just move the slide every time they set it up, and the grass heals quickly.
