Over Memorial Day weekend, my sweet friend Kristy (my roommate from my freshman year of college) came to visit our family!  This is her third time visiting us (first time here and second time here).  So far, I’ve added another baby every time she’s come!  I hope our “busy” kiddos weren’t too much for her!

We had a great time over the weekend picnicking, shopping, talking, going to church, hanging out, and visiting new places.

On Memorial Day, we went to a state park not too far from us where we got to hang out on this beautiful beach!

It’s a river, but it has small waves and a sandy beach, plus the swimming area is shallow very far out.

Vera absolutely loved the water!  We didn’t pack swimsuits, so we just waded out to our knees.

We promised Vera we’ll bring her swimsuit next time!

This kind of counts as Jude’s first beach trip!

 He thought the water was pretty cool.

 The girls loved spending time with Kristy.

 
We packed chocolate chip cookies in our lunch, so that’s what’s all over CC’s face, not dirt.  She didn’t want to get in the water at all, but maybe next time she will!

 It was so fun spending time with Kristy while she was here!

 Did you spend any time outside last weekend?  The weather was PERFECT here!
