4. Meet up with family
5. Eat good food (Cafe Rio pork anyone?)

well your day sounded just lovely! but kinda weird about throwing the "pink tree" thing in there all random like. kinda weird brooke. Also, love the kid pic with the shirt coming off. Not very modest, but whatever. Spiritual debates, good. Playing games, good. And very interesting about the rainbows. I knew there was a reason we keep you along ;)
ps. i love you
Totally missing you! Sounds like fun and we can't wait to see you. BTW, did anyone mention we are probably coming for the 4th? :) We'd love to stop in WY on the way through for some contrband!
I don't know what that pink tree is, but the Pink Dogwood is my personal favorite. They were everywhere when I lived in Northern Idaho. They even had a Dogwood Festival on the grounds of the college where there were tons of those beautiful pink blossoms.
Being the pink lover that I am, I decided I needed that pink tree. It isn't just the blossoms, the actual leaves are pink. I think I have found out that it is a tricolor beech.
Fun Memorial Weekend. We had kids with the flu for ours. In Georgia we had TONS of trees everywhere like that. They were cherry blossoms. In North Idaho they were Dogwoods. I'm the furthest thing away from a green thumb, though.
I had a totally fun day with you and your family! I found the pink tree at the house you show. I've never seen a tree with pink leaves!
