Things to do: Weekend Family Edition

The three day Memorial weekend messed me up. I didn't realize until Tuesday that I missed posting Family Edition, and then the week was going by too fast for me to catch up. Sorry, moms and dads. I'll get back on track for Monday morning. In the meantime though, here is a little weekend version because there are some really good things going on today.
