We did not go anywhere for Memorial Day this year. Everett had to work and everyone in the family wanted to just rest. I wanted to grill out and do something fun with Kate even if it was just the two of us.
I've never attempted to grill out with Kate by myself, but it went rather smoothly. She was so excited when she awoke from her nap to see all the fun things to do from the kitchen window for our cookout. She ran to get her flip flops and said she was ready to go to the "beach" because she saw the swimming pool. She really won't know what to believe when she really sees the beach. She was very excited to put on her new bathing suit and take a swim in the warm pool.
She played in the sand box for a while, but was ready to get back in the pool.
We decided to eat on the patio since it was such a nice day and Kate was still soaking wet. Southern Living had a great idea to keep away bugs while you eat if you can't use citronella or pest repellant on toddlers. Plug up a fan!! It keeps you cool and works great to keep bugs away from you and the food.
After our dinner, Kate decided to do a little yard work.
