Memorial Day Fun 2014

I think if one was to compare our Memorial Day blog posts from the past few years a person would see the exact same pictures, just all of us a bit older from year to year. Our Memorial Day activities have become very traditional but it's only because we love absolutely everything we do that day.
We always arrive at our Ward Breakfast a little early so David can join with the other High Priests in cooking pancakes. We have a bunch of this exact picture - David with now President Brady. It was much cooler when they used to wear their Utah/BYU t-shirts; David changed it up this year.

This year, while we waited for breakfast, the kids got involved in a fun volleyball game.

Maybe we should sign Sav up for some volleyball!

Enjoying some yummy food; Xander especially loves the sausage!

David had a great time playing some bball with the young men.

And of course Noah hung out IN the water. Several people came up to David and I expressing concern that Noah was actually swimming in the bay but that's why we had him wear his bathing suit. Noah's a little fish and it would be quite a feat to keep him out of the water! We also had him wear his flip flops; no cut up feet this year!

And when he's not going for a swim, he's involved in a water fight!

One of my favorite activities that we did at the Breakfast was a tossing game that the Wines brought. I don't know the name of it but it was a ton of fun. Probably it was more fun because of who we played it with. We divided into men versus women: me, Elinor, Tracy Scott, and Kendal against David, Doug, and the Haskell's son-in-law and his young son. The trash talking was in full force and the wins kept going back and forth.

I was doing pretty well until the Haskells' grandson parked himself right behind the bar where I was throwing (which we had repeatedly told him not to do) and I nailed him with one of the balls right in his face. After that I was pretty worthless.
