Memorial Day BBQ family pictures

We had a great Memorial Day BBQ with the ward family! We all met at Pioneer's Park which is an INCREDIBLE park on the western border of Lincoln. They have a few lakes, a herd of bison (!), some beautiful gardens and a huge prairie visitor's center that features all kinds of interesting information about the role Lincoln played in the pioneer migration.

Pretty neat.

But the BBQ was great!

This is what James did for the entire thing:

That is a Lightning McQueen ball that he lifted from another child on the playground. Seriously. J is a kleptomaniac! It might just be the age- and it might not.

This is how Oliver spent most of his time: in every child's favorite place right next to mommy's lap- Daddy's shoulders.

We could NOT get James to hold still for a family picture and I was DONE fighting him about it. So, here we are. The Daily Family Minus One.
Free food, good company, lots of sun, 60%h humidity- perfect.
