Memorial Day Fun

We had a great Memorial Day last week! We love holidays in Ohio - each has their own fun traditions and fun memories. We started the weekend with the addition of family coming to town - Diane (Jon's mom), Rebecca (Jon's sister) & Anne (Jon's sister) arrived Thursday night. They came just in time to welcome a new nephew - Tyler Johnston (son of Beth and Jeff) - early Friday morning. Tyler is absolutely darling and we've loved having a new little baby to kiss and hold!

On Monday, our ward had the traditional Memorial Day BBQ from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. They do it at High Banks Park. We didn't get the usual pavilion, but thankfully, there was another one close by and it was great! The Primary provided really fun games & activities for the kids and the Activities Committee provided delicious food. It's always fun to sit around and visit with all of our dear friends!

Then that night, we had several families from our ward over for another BBQ. We love doing this on Memorial Day night. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time! Ammon was our tournament organizer and put together a corn hole & ladder ball tournament. We had delicious food and yummy homemade icecream and lots and lots of great fun!
