Jackson was in his very first parade on Monday morning. His friend Trey invited him to ride in his wagon with him as their Mom's walked behind the Blue Star Elementary floats. Despite being pelted with candy at the beginning, Jackson liked watching all of the people. Thanks Trey for inviting us!
Later in the day we decided it was a perfect beach day so after slathering on that sunscreen, we went to the beach. Jackson was covered in sand but didn't seem to mind! We can't wait until the water gets a bit warmer though.
We went out to Sandy Pines on Sunday to celebrate Memorial Day with the Hansen's. After dinner, the Ford's came over and we all hung out by the campfire. Of course there's never a dull moment when we're with the Ford's! Jackson went to bed around 7pm and missed the ice cream escapade but he must've known that he was missing out on the fun because he woke up and we let him enjoy the campfire with us. 
We went downtown Holland on Tuesday night with our Tuesday night dinner girls. Jackson and Maylie were all dressed up in their Dutch costumes. Jackson loved the Dutch Dancers so hopefully he'll enjoy the parade on Saturday.
Jackson and I went to the Bentheim garage sales with Nicki, Miya and Jayden (needless to say, we did decide that this summer we're leaving the kids with Nicki's mom when we go!). Jackson got a cozy coupe car and absolutely loves it! He loves sitting in it and shutting the door. He tries to move the car around but his feet get in the way so then he slides out underneath the car. Miya had fun going back and forth between the cars and then showing Jackson all her toys. I have a feeling that these two are going to have lots of fun playing together this summer.
On Friday night we got together with the Ford's and Hansen's to celebrate the beginning of summer. Luke's parents and the Ford's both have places at Sandy Pines so we spend a lot of time together in the summer. Unfortunately we didn't get a campfire in that night but I'm sure we'll have plenty of them this summer!
