Our original plan for today was to get up, eat breakfast, and then head off to church for the Sunday morning service. However, once John was out of bed and got moving around, he felt it wouldn't be in the best interest of his back to sit on a hard per for an hour, so church was out for today.

We pretty much just lazed around for the day until it was time to go up to JD's house for our Memorial Day get together. The weather was fairly decent today, but rain is in the forecast for tomorrow, so it was decided to celebrate the holiday on Sunday. The boys got a basketball game going and the girls hit the trampoline.



Soon everyone headed inside for supper. We had a delicious meal of sloppy Joes, salads, watermelon and ice cream for dessert. The kids managed to eat the majority of the watermelon--there was not one piece left. We adults decided to play some poker while the kids were busy with the wii, drawing pictures, and just plain old playing together. Jenni and Hanna are very talented artists and drew a picture of me and a basketball player.

Matt, Sara, and I all got terrible cards tonight and were out of the game fairly fast. Joanne ended up the big winner. After the game we all just sat around talking while the kids continued playing.
We didn't get home until way after 11 p.m. It's a good thing school is out for the year and everyone can sleep in tomorrow morning, including us.
