Memorial Weekend was SUPER busy; therefore I'm going to have to put the weekend in three parts!
Thursday the Raleigh Sanford's made their way to the Springfield Sanford's for Mackenzie's fifth birthday.
Mackenzie went to school Friday so it gave us a chance to get out to letterboxing. It was a bit rainy and a little chilly but we had a great time!
When we got back, it was time to help Vicky prepare and then to relax before all the activities on Saturday.
In the morning, the children were just a little under foot. To relieve Vicky, Jeff and I took the children for a walk.
It's cicada season in Northern Va and the girls couldn't find enough of them. It was funny watching them running to be the first to pick up the bugs, dead or alive.

| You can't tell, but the bug made Parker's skin crawl |
As we continued the walk, a little boy from the neighborhood came running out with his pet rabbit to share with the girls.
It took some time but we FINALLY made it to playground.
What goes UP (to the pool) must come down (back to the house). The walk back was a little tiring!!!
It was now time for the party to begin!
