Memorial Day

Our family had a fantastic 3-day weekend! We spent the weekend in Chicago (more on that later this week), but decided to have in impromptu cookout Monday night when we got home. This was Karter's first time around our fire pit and he did great cooking his own hot dogs with Daddy.

Kristoffer put together quite the spread for not having this cookout planned...we had hot dogs, potato salad, corn on the cob, chips and of course smores!

Kaden was SO happy to be out of the car and really enjoyed hanging out with us outside!

I think he likes being outside!

Karter had a lot of fun eating his dinner on the ground.

After dinner it was time to roast our marshmallows.

Turns out Karter doesn't really like marshmallows toasted, so he just ate them straight out of the package.

When we were over by the fire, Rascal stole our corn cobs and had himself a little picnic!

It was a long day for all of us, but Kaden was a real trooper!

Karter kept stealing drinks when we weren't looking.

We found a little a toad on the ground when we were playing and Karter really wanted to play with it.

Kristoffer tried to get Karter to hold it for probably 5 minutes, but he kept jumping away and Karter wouldn't hold onto him. So the toad on his way to live a happy life!

Our impromptu wiener roast was the perfect end to our perfect 3-day weekend!
