Memorial Day Weekend

We continued the tradition of visiting my parents at the beach for Memorial Day weekend. James & I celebrated our 8 year anniversary on the 26th - and this year for the first time, we had a dinner out by ourselves. But, the real fun was in our family activities. Strawberry picking is always at the top of the list for the girls. They just love it! Josie just eats as she picks while me, Maddie and Grandmom focus on the job at hand.







While Maddie and Grandmom whipped up a shortcake to have with the strawberries, Josie enjoyed her life of leisure at the shore.





Later, on Saturday evening, Josie finally got her wish to go fishin' with PopPop. She had been requesting that Pop find her a pink fishing rod with a pussycat on it (um, Okay...) Pop was unable to fulfill this wish for the baby princess, but she was still excited. At least, AT FIRST she was...





But, then came the hard part, WAITING for the fish to bite...





In the end, it was Pop who held the rod while Josie supervised.



Maddie also helped Josie with the fishing but neither caught a thing...I'm wondering when these girls are going to earn their keep! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
