It was memorial day today so I had the day off again. After finishing mowing the lawn this morning, we went to the park to play. We took a bucket of baseballs and let the kids hit. We also brought their bikes so they could practice riding. I finally got Gracie going by taking her on the grass to practice. I let her fall a few times to show her that it didn’t hurt to land on the grass. After that she really started picking it up. We then moved to the sidewalks. She was really excited and proud of herself.

We went swimming at Ken & Laura’s in the afternoon, then had a BBQ. I asked Ken yesterday if he would be willing to share a family home evening lesson to the kids and share what he did and experienced in Haiti. It was fun having a family home evening together with everyone (Cade & Leslie’s family was there also).
