Memorial Sunday

the fabulous six commense their bonding. 

 Lucy is SOOOO annoyed that I came into their domain to take a photo.

the bonding continues with food and gossip on Kari's bed. 

 I imagine she'll be finding surprises in that bunk for a few camping trips.

four girls, a dog and a much needed beer.

Lucy and her new bff.

we had such a fantastic day AGAIN.  Tho' I will say that Lucy wasn't the most well behaved kiddo in the first half of the day.  She actually earned her self a time out in the middle of a car trip.  Yup, in a grassy knoll at a gas station there she sat, gathering her thoughts, getting out her angst and deciding to rejoin the car with a different attitude.  she did a bit better after that, still too close to morgan (in the neighboring carseat) for comfort.  those two stinker can be a real challenge together.   We spent the morning at MY grandma's house.  I am sure my grandma was glad to see us go, she sort of pushed us out the door and watched us pull away until we were well around the corner.   After visiting grandma we stopped to hang out with Kari, Shonna and their friends and children (and husbands).  I was unsure of the level of fun we would have given the attitudes of a couple back seat passengers but we had a BLAST!!!   Lucy was in Lucy heaven, she had tons of little girls to run around with, plenty of leeway on her mom leash, plus teenage boys to gush over ...  we stayed for hours and got home just in time for bed.
