RICE FAMILY MEMORIAL DAY BBQ

We spent days of planning that included several trips to the store and a scouting trip to find the perfect park for our Memorial Day fun. Since we didn't have control over the weather we had to make sure everything else was perfect. We ended up at Chism Park in Bellevue along Lake Washington and then later at Meydenbauer Park also along the lake.

 

Chism Park in Bellevue Washington offered a great back-drop for pictures, though our camera malfunctioned during this photo shoot.

 

Cheeeeeese.

 

What BBQ at the park wouldn't be complete without smores. Thanks Melissa for all the great preperation.

 

We found a great spot in Chism park for our Memorial Day BBQ. Notice it also was a good spot for Dad to take a nap, but Sierra and Dallin had other plans.

 

This is Meydenbauer Park in Bellevue Washington the last stop on our Memorial Day outing. This park sits on Lake Washington surrounded by million dollar homes and yachts. Fun for the whole family. Although Melissa and Sierra slept in the car.

 

Sierra has recently made the transition to a "Big Girl" bed though she prefers at times to nap on the floor.

 

We just got back from our trip to California. It rained most of the time including our first night camping at Lake Shasta. We visisted family and friends and went to Melissa's brother's wedding at the Oakland Temple.

 

Dallin, Sierra, and their Great Grandma D. On our trip we visited lots of Grandma's, 7 total including 2 Great Grandmas and one Great Great Grandma.

 

Dallin putting out the vibe!

 

Melisa, Sierra, and Melissa's friend Christie.

 

Dallin got to play with his cousin Kaitlin at my sister's house in Folsom.

Melissa's brother Michael and his new wife Donna.

 

Sierra had fun playing in the fountain water, Melissa wasn't as thrilled.

 

Dallin and his Uncle Michael. It was a great day!

 

Sierra didn't want to slow down long enough to take her picture but we still managed to get a couple shots at the Temple for her Uncle's wedding.

 

Dallin had fun at the wedding reception with his friend Zoe.

 

It was a sunny day so we went and visited another state park along the Puget Sound. We took along some chicken to Bar-b-que but I failed to defrost it enough. So I improvised by making "grilled" cheese sandwiches instead. The cheese didn't melt all the way and the bread burned but everyone ate them so they couldn't have been all that bad. Sorry no pictures of my cooking blunder.
