Memorial Day Weekend 2012

Memorial day weekend 2012~

Funny to think how much I was looking forward to this weekend only to have it go by in a flash!  We enjoyed a fun-filled weekend with family and friends. I hope all of you did too!

Saturday:

Rea and I met Nette at Grey's lake and did a lap...it was scorching hot so we decided to cool off with lunch at Palmer's Deli.  I forgot how amazing their cookies are, and promptly tried 3 different kinds. Molasses wins out every time.  The walk is now a moot point.

Getting ready for our walk~

Sharing giggles with Aunt Nette~



Saturday night Andy and I had a planned date night with our good friends, Jen and Burt. The plan was to go see Hairball. Not my choice of music but a really great time nonetheless.  Despite the heat (I swore I would never do another outside concert again), it was a neat experience to watch a concert under the stars.   I even ran into an old friend from high school and was able to catch up. Good times!






Sunday: 93 degrees definitely warranted saying *oh well* to a high water bill and we filled up 2 pools. I can't believe I forgot to snap a pic! I think it was my subconscious saying no way Jose to a pic of me in a swim suit.  Next time, I'll try for a pic of Rea.  She squealed the whole time and loved the water.  We hosted dinner for Andy's family and had a great time relaxing.

Play land at the mall!  I think she likes it~





Our neighbors invited us over for dinner and the kids had a great time playing together.  Rea is getting brave on the trampoline~


Ice cream!


Rea and her juice~

Mommy and daddy's juice~



We are so blessed to have such great family and friends to spend the holiday weekend with.  Remembering those who couldn't be with us and thankful for those who are.  Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday!
