Memorial Day weekend

Happy Memorial Day everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend! We have had a good weekend thus far. Here's the recap:
Friday night- Mexican dinner {we skipped core class :)}
Saturday- Darryl worked a 1/2 day, while Brylee and I went with my mom to Medford to a craft show and then hit up the outlets. I got some good deals for Brylee!
Sunday- we hit up the "castle park" in Lakeville, had a picnic and played and went for a nature walk. Unfortunately the weather wasn't as cooperative,  but at least we didn't have rain. We also went out to dinner for Darryl's b-day {which was last week} at Lucky 13 pub. Delicious. Afterwards we went to my parents for gluten free cupcakes and presents.
Today- Brylee and I are going to run to MOA {see if there are any more good Memorial day sales}. Darryl is getting off early {3:30} so we are going to grill and maybe hit up the park. It is supposed to be a hot one today...86, so hopefully the sun will come out, as it is still cloudy this morning.
There you have it...our weekend.
Also, in other news....Darryl is going to be transferring to the Lifetime Fitness in Lakeville around June 16th! He will be an asst. Dept Head and is very excited! We are very proud of him and know that he will do great! Let's face it the commute is the best part! Plus...the place is like a resort! I can't wait till the pool is open and we can sit out there and eat our lunch poolside at the Life Cafe!

And now...here are some pics from the park yesterday.
