Memorial Day Monday started out early with a huge pancake breakfast complete with homegrown bacon, blueberry waffles and very delicious strawberries. John and my brothers James & David went to see Star Trek while a few of us went off to Pleasant Grove Cemetery to scrub headstones of Grandpa's buried there. Christina & Justin got there first and had already started scrubbing Justin's Grandpa's headstone. Katie John & Sariah helped with Grandpa Kermit's headstone with much enthusiasm. 
With the pool freshly filled, Christina & Justin invited everyone over for a swim. All the kids had a blast and the "big boys" had a good game of chicken going on with Anna and Julie. Sariah kicked around the pool testing her knee out. She seemed to be doing fine which gave her the green light to start swim lessons the next day. 
The final activity of the day was a potluck wienie roast at Uncle James and Carie's house. The kids enjoyed roasting hotdogs over an open fire as well as eating chips and more tub-o-roni. Immediately after dinner marshmallows were made available for roasting. What a nice end to a very busy weekend!!
A few of us played a Settler's game later in the evening. Of course we were all playing our hearts out... but in the end, Katie (Shaun's fiance) won the game. What a great time!
