Memorial Day Weekend

The weather for memorial day weekend was awesome so we took advantage of all 3 days. 

Saturday we woke up bright and early and headed up to Estes Park for a hike. We had wanted to hike Bridal Veil Falls, but the parking area was already full. So instead we headed to another nearby hike "Pearl Lake." 

It was an amazingly beautiful day and a great hike with friends: 

Here we are at Pearl Lake:

Sunday night we headed over to the drive in theatre with a bunch of friends from Jack's school. We showed up early at 6:30pm and there was already a huge line. Thankfully we still got good parking spots and we had 2.5 hours to kill before the movie even started.

That's why it was great to go with so many friends. The kids just ran around and played football, frisbee, bubbles, etc. They had so much fun before the movie even started:

Finally the movie started around 9:30pm and Jack and Lily were able to stay awake for the entire movie. There was a second movie that started at 11pm but we decided to head home and call it a night since we had another fun day planned for the next morning.

Monday morning (memorial day) we headed out to Flatiron reservoir for a BBQ with Jack's school friends. We got there early to set up and the girls went straight to the sand pit. Josie gave herself a sand bath:

Jack and Luke fished and caught one good size fish that we were able to grill up

We had a BBQ and s'mores. The kids had a great time

A big storm rolled through, so for about 5-10 minutes we had to take shelter under the pavilion. It was a perfect opportunity for a group picture

It was a beautiful day and a beautiful area. 

Josie's lunch consisted of cheetos and oreos. She didn't seem to mind

The kids had so much fun running around the whole area. It was great to be outside on such a beautiful day.

But we were exhausted after the long weekend. Luke fell asleep on the couch when we got home... and I took advantage of that opportunity:
