Memorial Weekend

When you have a baby that isn't even two weeks old and there is a holiday like Memorial Day, you wonder if you'll really be able to have an enjoyable weekend, doing holiday things or if you'll be stressed, tired and just busy trying to take care of two chidren. We decided to make weekend plans and hope that Collette would cooperate for all the fun we had ahead of us. Guess what... she did! The weekend was fantastic. We started it off with a little dinner at Pei Wei with my mom and some friends:

This was Kikimac (Owen's name for our friend Caitlin and her son Max) first experience with Pei Wei. I think it was a success.

The John's were there to enjoy it as well.

Yummy

Jeff REALLY enjoyed the amazing soda fountain that Pei Wei had to offer. I'm sure it will keep him going back again and again.

Saturday was more quality time spent with the Mulcock's. This time at their pool.

 Tony, Amber, Aldo and CJ were also there.

Owen had such a blast swimming with Tyler.

 Collette loved it too. She thought sitting poolside was super relaxing.

Sunday we decided to have a "mango madness" night. Our friends The Johns have a mango tree and gave us permission to go pick some of the mangos and do what we wanted with them. What did we want? Mango cobbler! Yummy! Tyler made two different kinds of cobbler to try out and we made some homemade ice cream to go with.

This is one of Owen's best buddies... Max. As you can see, they adore each other:

Monday we got up and headed to the beach. I'll be honest, I was a litte nervous about how Collette would handle the sun, sand, wind, etc. Luckily, Jeff and Caitlin had us covered, they let us borrow their shade shack to keep her happy. It worked like a charm. I think she was born a beach bum.

Since Collette did so well at the beach, we decided to try our luck out on the boat later in the afternoon and guess what? She loved that as well. I guess she was born for Florida life.

So comfy right?

Isn't he handsome? And he's really good at driving a boat.

Don't judge us for having Owen wear a life jacket that was too big. We only had one kids jacket with us and we had to let this guy wear it:

We really love these people... can you tell? We spent a whole weekend with them and never got sick of it. They're leaving us in October and we're super sad about it. Please Mulcock's DON'T GO!!!
