Non-Refundable: Memorial Day Weekend Recap (or just an excuse to post a lot of pictures)

We had a busy Memorial Day weekend. It was one of those where you spend very little time at home. Here is a recap of the weekends events.

While technically not part of the holiday, the spring concert at Caelyn's school was held Thursday morning. Here is a video of her and the other kindergartner's performance. It has been broken into two parts.

Friday, brought the first day off from school. This is always tricky for me. The kids expect this monkey to dance so I took them to Turtleback Zoo. The place was just that, a zoo. I had never seen so many people there before. Fortunately, whoever organized the place did their job well so even as crowded as it was, things went smoothly.

Monday, we met some friends and their daughter (a pre-school classmate of Caelyn's) and spent the day at Victorian Garden in Central Park. Caelyn made it onstage for two different shows. Video is at the end.
