Family Time

in family •  6 years ago 

Here in the US, we are celebrating the Memorial Day holiday with a 3 day weekend. Memorial Day is a day to remember and honor those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom, which is a humbling thing to think about.

We have used this 3 day weekend to get away and are hanging out on the Colorado River with some family. We have had a great weekend, and I wanted to share some of the highlights with my Steemit friends.

Kendra (now 8 months old) got to go on her first boat day with the family, and was a real trooper. She was up for anything, and put up with the baby life jacket that is almost as confining as a straight jacket... but safety first right! We pulled out a little kiddie pool at the house for her to play in, and she enjoyed sitting in it and splashing for a long time!

Jacob enjoyed playing in the water, and especially liked hanging out on the shore and playing in the mud with some small construction toys. We were able to fit in a little fishing, and the time spent with cousins was a big highlight for him.

We have enjoyed the family time this weekend and just came back from a great fireworks display that we watched from the boat to celebrate the holiday. Although we are all feeling wiped out at this point on a busy weekend, it has been a much needed reprieve from the daily grind. Here are some pictures from this weekend:

Now if I could only take a vacation day to recover from the vacation... 🤔

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Moments like this will remain in the memory of your children forever

I had a busy weekend, I did not have time to go somewhere to relax, I had a family reunion and prepared some hamburgers on Saturday night and I was also studying a little this weekend.
I see that you had a great time with your family is the important thing I had heard before on these days of vacation on the day of the fallen.
As always your beautiful children Kendra is growing little by little and Jacob as always full of fun

Beautiful Kendra and Jacob, managed to catch some fish this time? Good thing they enjoyed these days and managed to get away from the routine, it's amazing how children do not waste time to have fun and can play and be creative with anything.

Happy week

Best wishes for you and your family at first.
you and your family are so happy in your life.
In this way your family tours are memorable.
And your child is very much loved for it....

Happy family and Awesome moments :)

Looks like you are all having an amazing time! Getting out and enjoying some family time is so much fun. I remember when the kids we little. They loved these weekends camping and getting outdoors. I totally agree with your last statement. You know you’ve had a good time and maxed out the fun when you could use a vacation after the vacation. Enjoy your Memorial Day tomorrow. We had our long weekend last week here in Canada.

Happy Memorial Day and Awesome moments
