Memorial Day Weekend

While most of our friends were out of town this weekend, we stayed in town this year (like most) and enjoyed our family time together.

On Saturday morning, we met the Mundie's and explored the Tallahassee Museum.  We have had passes to the museum for more than a year so I'm glad we were finally able to put them to good use! It was hot, but not unbearable and the kids had a great time running from one exhibit to the next.

 Checking out the snake exhibit - my least favorite! 

I have been to the museum several times over the years but I have never been when I saw so many animals.  Usually we can spot the animals sleeping, but we must have picked a great time to go because this time, the majority of the animals were out roaming.  Unfortunately for me, we were not able to see my favorite animals (the otters).  They usually put on the best show!

 We had a great time and hope we can do it again soon!

Saturday night, we went over to Mimi and Papa's house for a steak dinner - yummy!  It was a great end to a very busy day.  I don't know where the time went but it flew by on Saturday.

 Being silly.

Sunday, we relaxed at home after church and got rested for another fun packed day today.  I have been wanting to go to the beach but since we are going in a couple weeks, we decided to go over to the Olk's and swim.  I love going over there and the kids love it too!  We invited the Mullinax family to meet us over there and we all had a great time!  Aunt Katie and Camden came back from the coast early so we were able to spend a little bit of time with them too.

 This boy is fearless.  He played and played and even ended up having to be rescued more than one time.  We can't take our eyes off him for one second.

 Such a mess.

 The kiddie pool got a little wild with these boys but it didn't contain them for long.  They wanted to swim in the big pool with the rest of us.

 Sweet friends.

 I couldn't let our time together end without an attempt at a group picture...

This evening, the kids and I went over to my parent's house for a cookout while daddy had to stay at home and work.  It was quieter than normal since my brother, Aunt Katie, Camden, daddy and Nanny weren't able to join us.  We still had a great time but we missed everyone!

Kate was showing off her new talent of jumping high enough to touch the flag. 

 Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend like we did.  I'm so thankful for the men and women who serve our country and make it possible for us to celebrate weekends like these with our families.

Happy Memorial Day!
