The next town over had a little carnival this past weekend, so we went and did that Saturday night. We didn't do much on Sunday, but there were fireworks that night so we watched those. Yesterday we went to 2 parades and cooked burgers on the grill for dinner.

If you're an American, how did you celebrate your Memorial day?

If you're not American, what holiday do you recognize your soldiers, and when is it?

My weekend was pretty good. Went to a friends house for BBQ on Saturday. Sunday was a blurr. And yesterday did a bit of shopping for household items at Dollar General. We watched a few movies. In general just spent time together as a family. Nothing big.

Our weekend went pretty good. My husband had Saturday, Sunday and Monday off which was nice. Saturday we did some yard sales. I was excited. We got a jeep 3 wheel stroller for $25. Then one yard sale I got my oldest her whole summer wardrobe lol. I got 11 tank tops and 7 pairs of shorts for $2.85! I was excited. sunday we did some yard work and dug out the stump of a tree we cut down. We are slowing building a nice play area for the kids. Monday we cleaned up for a picnic. The kids all got a cold from their cousin so they were recouping while we cleaned. Then my parents and my sister came over. and my in laws showed up unannounced too and they stayed to eat with us. It started raining so we had to take our picnic inside but it wasn't that bad.

The kids and I went to a little carnival they had behind the local mall the other night. They had a blast. Lily was even tall enough to ride some of the rides. They were bummed when we had to leave though. I was going to cook out yesterday, but it would not stop raining. We cooked the hot dogs and brats inside instead. It was nothing to exciting, but it was nice.

We did the carnival thing too, that was nice. Aydan went absolutely bonkers, he'd get off one ride and point to another and say "That ride now! That ride now!". He threw a temper tantrum when it was time to go, but it was fun to watch how much he enjoyed it. The older kids did too of course, but it's more fun to watch a little one enjoy it for the first time.

We have something similar which roughly translates to "Day of Heroes". I don't really remember what day it is on because the government keeps changing the name as well as the date. I guess I shouldn't mind because I am neither a soldier nor a hero although I did fancy myself as one when I was younger. Cheers!!

For us it's a day to recognize our heroes, past, present, and future. To give thanks to them for fighting for our country and to remember those who've died. I'm no soldier or hero either, but I still think it's important to have a day to recognize those who are fighting for us.

Yes I did. I took my kids to the lake. They had never been before. We cooked out, and my daughter played in the lake in her clothes, and loved it. My son was afraid of the water, but he had a great time playing in the sand!
