Memeorial Day

Memorial Day was pretty uneventful for us this year. Usually we go to the beach with friends and spend all day. We used to spend the night, but have had to stop that now that the kids are in school. We've had this tradition since before we had kids so it was sad that we couldn't make it this year. The main reason was that Doug had to work. Plus, most of our friends had other plans or no longer live on the area. So, our day was spent hanging out at home so the girls could play with friends, doing a little shopping, and seeing a movie (Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian). Not as great as the beach, but still fun. Sunday, however, we had a wonderful evening with friends. There are several of us who used to work together at Disney at the Brown Derby who still get together. Times have changed since we all have kids now. We've gotten together a couple of times and it's really fun just to hang out, catch up, let the kids play, and trade fun stories. We're really lucky that Nancy has become quite the entertainer, and that Kristine's husband James entertains all of the kids (basically they attack him and he puts up with it). It might be a little more difficult when the two youngest start joining the mix - right now it's 4 on 1 but it will eventually be 6 on 1. We're thankful that we're all still friends and enjoy each other's company since it's been almost seven years since we all worked together.
