Memorial Day Weekend

Happy {late} Memorial Day!  I hope yours was as blessed as ours.  We spent the long weekend celebrating with family at Pop & Gran's house.  We got to see Poppy & Cissy, too.  See if you can follow me here.  Cindy, my step-mom, has a cousin named Mary.  Mary lives next door to my mom on Lake Martin.  Small world, huh?  Cindy and my dad came down to spend the weekend at Mary and her husband's house.  So they were right next door.  It was quite convenient actually.  We spent a lot of time in the baby pool on this trip.
 
 
We also spent a lot of time on this bad boy.  Brad and Lauren brought it up.  I didn't get any pictures of anyone on it for some reason.  It was fantastic though.
Poppy & Cissy stole Miller Man one morning to take him over to Brian & Mary's house.  The golf cart was a little more convenient than trekking up the mountainous driveways.  Plus it was a fun ride for Miller.
 Brian sent him back with this on...
{Side note: Miller DID NOT actually ride the jet ski.  And certainly not without a life jacket.  He just pretended to drive while still tied to the dock.  That was plenty of fun for him.}
Miller was enthralled by this "airplane", as he called it.  Honestly, I wasn't sure how to correct him.  What is this thing?
 We ate and ate and ate some more.  I'm pretty sure I can blame Pop for a few extra pounds.
We tried out Miller's new Puddle Jumper.  He did pretty well, but I think he would have liked it more if it weren't so choppy.  There were about a gazillion boats out this weekend so the water was pretty rough.  {Sorry for the blurry picture.  John took it with his phone and I zoomed in on it some.}
We had such a great weekend and realize that freedoms like those we enjoyed this weekend haven't come without a price.  Thanks to all of you out there who have served to protect our freedom!

  1. Had a fabulous weekend. Loved going out on the boat and searching for the balls - "owjange" (orange) of course and the geese and airplanes. Love hearing Miller say "geese, geese, where r jchew"? He is so precious and changing so very fast. Fabulous time celebrating Brad's birthday, playing in the pool, riding the boat, eating, eating and waiting on Miller to wake up! Playing hide and seek and chase. Come back soon, Gran has purchased some new water toys!
    love you all,
    Gu ga ( Gran)
