Lukas, Sarah, and Lio visited us over Memorial Day weekend! We had so much fun! They got in Friday night and after the kids were in bed we spent quality adult time. Then Saturday we went to the beach!

Clous doing as we do.
One of the best parts was how much time the kids got to spend tormenting each other. BFFs!
Morning bonding: Miranda, James, and Lio enjoy breakfast and the paper

Time to jump on the bed!
Saturday night, Sarah and I had an early Girls' Night Out and went to see Love & Friendship, the movie based on the Jane Austen story Lady Susan. We got an obscene-sized popcorn and soda because we are terrible liberals. Haha. Then we got home in time to put the kids to sleep while Kevin and Lukas went for drinks down the street. Woo! It's like having timeshare kids!
Movie fun!
Sunday morning Lio tested out what it's like to be a kid in our home, which is a little different than being a kid at hers. There were tutus, tiaras, too much television, and many noise and light-emitting toys. Lukas quickly put the kibosh on the latter.
Tiara, tutu, and remote. She gets it.
Sunday afternoon we went to Port Jefferson together. We started with lunch at The Pie and then we wandered around to see the waterfront and the town. We celebrated our successful outing with ice cream at the Port Jeff Cafe.

Sunday night we planned to celebrate Memorial Day with a cookout. In addition to our red-headed visitors, we invited our friends Erika and Rob. We had burgers, hot dogs, snacks, a million beers, a little wine and lots of deep questions like, "what age are you inside your heart?" The kids took the opportunity of our divided attention to make a huge mess on the deck and in the yard.

Monday morning, Memorial Day we had a little more bonding time before Sarah, Lukas, and Lio headed back to Queens. We miss you guys!
