Memorial Day Weekend

We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!  The past three days were packed with activities!

I left off with the baseball tournament on Saturday.  It was HOT, but it was nice watching Dylan play.  He played so well, despite the heat.  That evening, we actually didn't have plans.  This was the first Saturday night in months that we didn't have plans. It was a nice break!

My great niece, Aubrey, turned 6 on Sunday.   I saw her just minutes after she was born. I can't believe she's 6!  She is such a sweet girl, and I love her so much!

We celebrated her birthday with a fun party! 


 

 




My family and I sat outside for 8 1/2 hours.  We were supposed to get a big storm, but it passed right over us.  I had so much fun spending time with them!

That night, Dylan went home with one of my sisters to have a sleepover with my nephews.  Lexie attempted her first sleepover at Aubrey's house, but shortly after we got home, we got the call that she wanted to come home, too.  It wasn't a big deal, because they just live a mile away!

Memorial Day was a great start to the summer.  It was so hot!  It hit 95 degrees by the middle of the day.

On our way to a picnic, we picked Dylan up from a local pool.  He had been swimming for 4 hours straight!  Lexie got car sick just as we got to the store to pick something up. She ended up throwing up all over herself, so we skipped the store! I had a brief moment of panic, because some friends of ours just suffered through a horrible stomach virus, but it was just her getting car sick! Phew!

Shortly after arriving at the picnic, Dylan looked drained.  I asked him if he wanted a nap, and he said yes.  I'm not even kidding when I say he fell asleep in just a minute.



He slept while the girls played, and the rest of us ate.  We did eat indoors because it was too hot and humid for Grant's dad to be outside.





It was nice spending time with Grant's family!






After dinner and dessert, we headed out to swim with our friends.  The kids stayed in the pool the entire time!  Lily even went for her very first swim, and LOVED it!  Within seconds of getting in, she was giggling and splashing!









When the sun went down, I climbed out of the pool, because Lily was starting to shiver.  I sat and talked to my friend while everyone else continued to swim.  Finally, darkness fell, and we had to get the kids home!



They were reluctant to leave, but we did promise them we'd be swimming with our friends a lot this summer!

It was a nice Memorial Day weekend.  I am so grateful to all those who have served or are now serving our wonderful country!
