Memorial Day

We started out Memorial Day with a workout. Dustin completed the Murph Challenge, in honor of Michael Murphy, a SEAL who died in Operation Red Wings.

That afternoon we spend at Molly and Andy's since they were crazy enough to invite five families over to swim and BBQ.

Dustin made himself useful by throwing kids into the pool. Crossfit totally pays off when we need someone with freakish strength.

My favorite part is always the watermelon eating contest. Nate and Grant tied for WINNERS!!

I wish there was more to say, but basically it was a low key afternoon and the kids all had fun so we didn't have to do anything.

 

It was the perfect holiday. I had just finished reading Lone Survivor, the account of Marcus Lutrell, the only survivor from Operation Red WIngs, and was more grateful than ever for all the men and women who have given their lives so that we could spend the day with our family and friends.

The day was finished off with a little covert action with my girlfriends as we decorated Karen's yard for her 40th birthday.
