The rest of the weekend...

I posted our Friday night already, so on to Saturday. Chris and I started the day early with a big workout. We knew the gym would be closed on Monday so we were trying to put in a little extra workout. We spent the rest of our day at the Paseo Art Festival. I didn't take any pictures there because it was just too hot! The festival is so large now. It has doubled in size since the last time we went. After that we were ready to be inside for the rest of the day. We planned on cooking out but the hot day soon turned into a thunderstorms. I decided to make a Hamby Family Favorite and make Chrome Dogs. My sister had made these the other day and I started to crave them. Not exactly on the diet, but we make them with fat free dogs and whole wheat buns. I also made my new favorite salad. It is made with green leaf lettuce, spinach, dried cranberries, almonds or walnuts, apples, and homemade vinaigrette. It is so delicious! We finished up the night with Twilight. Draven did not want to see it. After a few minutes into the movie, Draven was hooked. He loved it. Chris wants to start on the books now.
On Sunday, the kids and Chris went to church. While there, Draven made plans to spend the night with one of his friends. I dropped off Draven, then we headed to Nanny's house for dinner. She made a fantastic meal! We had the biggest pork chops I have ever seen. Chris referred to them as Chopzilla. We also had ratatouille, corn on the cob, and baked apples. It was so good! Lillie ate everything! After dinner we decided to take Lillie for a walk to the park. We played for a while then headed back to Nanny's. Lillie and I split a ice cream bar on the porch. Lillie loved that. She was such a mess and had to have a bath in Nanny's sink. When we got home Chris and I watched the Changeling. It is very depressing, but a really good movie. Monday we didn't have any plans. We picked up Draven from his friends house. After that we went shopping for fountains for our backyard. We didn't find anything. We needed to go to Academy to buy a seat for my bike for Lillie. Conveniently, Jason's Deli is right next door. We love that place. They have the best salad bar in town. Lillie ate a grilled cheese and an ice cream cone. When we got home Lillie took her nap. The rest of us started yard work. Draven worked so hard and was a huge help. I told him that we would all go swimming across the street to cool off. Luckily, we showed up just in time for a cookout. We all swam and ate for hours. The water was 88 degrees, about the same temperature as outside. Lillie couldn't get enough of the pool. Around 8pm we ended our long Memorial Day weekend. I hated to see it go. We all had a great time. I am so glad that summer is here!
