Making Memories Memorial Weekend

Memorial weekend we spent on the road visiting Josh's family in Spearman. It was a long drive for a quick weekend visit but very thankful Josh had a day off so we could visit his family. We really enjoyed our time with family! We spend lots of time in the backyard playing in the swimming pool and jumpoline, chasing a frog, and saving a fish. We made a couple trips to the park across the street. We had an outing for some DQ ice cream and snow cones. We had a Memorial Day fish fry. We celebrated Kevin's 35 years with his company Golden Spread and had an early birthday party for Ronda. We definitely made the most of our quick trip and short time in Spearman just wished it could have been longer. 
 Helping Grandpa put out his flag on Memorial Day. We had several discussions as to the meaning behind this weekend.
 The highlight of the trip for Brayden was the frog he found in Grandpa's pond - Hopalong. Poor frog could not get away. Brayden had a blast chasing him and catching and trapping him each day.
 All 3 chasing after the frog. Very entertaining to watch
 Bath time with Grandpa

 We found it funny that this is what these two brothers wore, at one time they also had on rival caps

 Cale was very active this trip. Loved the playground and getting into whatever she could find that she was not suppose to be into.
