Happy Memorial Day!

We had a packed Memorial Day weekend!

Thursday night started our weekend off with dinner at Mimi and Gumpy's so we could meet this little face:

Avery is Clay's first cousin and Jack and Madeline's second cousin.
She was born 2 1/2 months before Madeline, and this was their first time meeting.
It was so cute to watch the two girls together.

Saturday night we had some excitement when Jack-man came running downstairs to tell us his tooth was  "wiggly".

Daddy had to give it a shake....

It's still there....wigglin away....but any day now....

I'm sure we'll have a tooth-less grin.

Sunday Morning we headed up to Camp Run-a-muk
And had more time with cousins

The girls learned to share

They danced and sang

And did the Hokey Pokey
(with guidance from Elmo)

Watching the two of them together was so adorable.  They are the same size, at pretty much the same stage, and are very similar but at the same time so different.

I hope the two of them get to grow up seeing a lot of each other.

Camp Run-a-muk is on Tomales Bay and near Point Reyes.

so....

Of course that meant

Oysters!

We shucked them ourselves!

and washed them down with some bubbly.

Does it get any better than an afternoon of ocean, oysters, good company and Champagne???

So spoiled.

The boys BBQ'd a delicious dinner to follow our appetizers from the sea.

Jack couldn't resist the hot tub

Maddie had to test the waters too....

There was Foosball

And Badminton

And lots of fun with (almost) the whole gang.

The kids had so much fun.  Mr. Kirbyface had to work for most the weekend, but was still able to make it.  We can't wait for the next get-together.  It's been tooooo long.

However...some of us may have had too much fun....

it was a long ride home for poor Mads.

Happy Memorial Day!
