Memorial Day Weekend 2014

We spent Memorial Day Weekend up at our family cabin. We enjoyed four days with my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew. While we enjoyed playing in the river, barbecuing, and racing dune buggies, we also took the time to put our flag up and remember the friends we've lost. I have a couple friends that have lost their lives serving our country. I also have a couple friends currently serving. My friends and their families were in my thoughts & my heart throughout the weekend.

We drove up to the cabin Friday night, but the cooking started Thursday night.

I made two batches of rice crispy treats for daddy! 

I had the help of this adorable young man.

Friday morning, I tried to make my mother's potato salad for the very first time.

My hubby loves my mother's potato salad. He said mine needs a little more garlic next time! I'll have to practice making it a couple more times :) I also made his favorite pasta salad!

These two ran and jumped into the river so many times! I got ten minutes recorded. And they have the cuts and bruises on their knees to prove it!

Time for a race!

The Cadillac is faster, but the Dune Buggy can travel on and off the road.

The boys enjoyed driving the mini vehicles all weekend long!
