Memorial Day Weekend

We took advantage of the long holiday weekend and went down to cousins' Alexa, Kyra, and Cade's house for some good ole fashion fun!  It had rained during the night on Friday and Saturday morning started out a little chilly and wet, so these 4 decided to take advantage and get a little Nintendo DS action going!

It didn't take long before the sun started to peak out, and when it did...it quickly got hot!  The 2 big boys couldn't get to the lawn mower fast enough...

Aiden decided to help Uncle Brian find worms for the fishing trip we had planned for later that day.

Making a group effort to snag all the worms they could!

Kyra and Aiden quickly had their turn on the old beast...and there were plenty of mud puddles to splash around in!

Dan, Megan, Jessie, and Abby also made the trip down, and awesome Uncle Dan brought his 4 wheeler!!

Watching everyone take their turn on the ATV's!

Uncle Brian didn't want his motorcycle to feel left out...so out it came to join the action.  Talk about a bunch of boys having way too much fun! :)  Lets just say we had our own little "drag racing" on the gravel road out by their house!

After lunch we packed up all of the poles and the many worms they had found that morning and headed out for some fishing!

It didn't take Tyson long before he caught the first fish of the day!

Check out that beauty!

Dad...not wanting to be left out...caught a few of his own!

It appears that Aiden is doing all the work here...not only holding the fishing pole...but his dad's "beverage" as well:)

We made hot dogs over the fire for supper and hung out around the campfire that night.

Sunday was the annual Howard reunion in Taylor, Nebraska, so we made the hour and a half trip down where we met up with Grammy and Poppy!  After lunch we walked across to the park, so the kids could play and we all could visit.

Kyra is Aiden's best buddy!!

The boys played a little football.

After a couple hours we went to say hello to Great Grandma and Grandpa Dunbar!  Great Grandpa has been quite the collector of guns over the years and he is now sharing his treasures with the grandsons!

Great Grandpa giving Scott the rundown on all of the goods.

Checkin them all out.

Great Grandpa didn't want the little guy to feel left out, so he gave him this cap gun...he was telling Poppy all about it!

4 handsome generations of Dunbar men!

Just had to add this one...PRICELESS!

Great Grandma and Grandpa have really cool bikes that the kids had a blast riding around!

Aiden being the big boy and riding it all by himself!

After a long visit we had to say our good-byes so we could head back to Jean and Brian's for one last night.  Monday morning we loaded up and made the trip back home.  We had such an awesome time, and the boys have soooo much fun getting to play "out in the country" with their cousins.  This trip was extra special since we also got to see Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Dunbar!!  The boys were sad to have to leave...and obviously quite exhausted from the busy weekend...:)

Didn't let go of his gun...even when he was sound asleep! :)

We stopped at Grandma Brenda's for a quick pit stop and to say hello.  She had decorated Grandpa Lyle's grave so pretty...like she always does.  It was a nice way to complete our Memorial Day Weekend...saying a quick "hello" to Grandpa Lyle...and letting him know we think about and miss him every day!
