Memorial Day weekend was full of lots of fun things! We started Saturday off with a state soccer game... Ben's brother Brady's high school team beat Issaquah in a shoot-out on a sunny afternoon. Here's us reading about it in the paper the next day.
Our friends Megan and John joined us for the game, and for Happy Hour at Lombardi's afterward! Here is my Bloody MMMMMMary. 
Sunday started out with a SURPRISE for Ben's dad! We went on KZOK's Breakfast with the Beatles Argosy cruise. The breakfast was delicious, but I ate it before I could get a picture, sorry! After the cruise we walked up to Pike Place. What a treasure. We also stopped at DeLaurenti's Italian market where I scored some San Marzano tomatoes and individual servings of Nutella! Don't forget the Mexican Cokes for Ben and his bros... no high fructose corn syrup! 
After the market we headed down to my dad's house to help him pot an enormous amount of plants. I can't believe what a kick a get out of that! More on planting pots with dad later.Monday was the grand finale... A Parade! It only lasted about ten minutes but I love any chance to see a marching band.
The wonderful Stallons family invited us to the parade in downtown Arlington, followed by a cookout at their farm. This lovely little farm has everything a girl could want: horses, donkies, ponies, chickens, cats and a sweet dog. The chickens are the famous 'happy chickens' who provide our eggs. Thanks, girls!
We had gardenburgers, macaroni salad, grilled asparagus and mushrooms (delicious!!!). The avocadoes with zucchini corn salsa were about the only thing I made this weekend. I found some adorable cocktail avocadoes at Pike Place Sunday and filled them with a version of salsa/ pico de gallo that was pretty much just stuff we had in the fridge. Jayne made us some homemade strawberry frozen yogurt to finish off the meal. A perfect finish to a perfectly sunny weekend.
