Memorial Day weekend

We went to OKC for a quick but fun filled Memorial Day weekend. We had a cookout at Nick's dad's on Friday night, stayed the night with Nick's mom and then headed to my parents on Saturday for a cookout. Nick's dad took the kids on a tractor ride and Shannon took Austin crusin in her new Camaro. I tagged along with them and Austin held on to the seat belt strap for dear life! It was a nice feeling to see that he wanted to be all grown up and go in the race car but that he still wanted his mom to go with him.

We were invited to my friend Candice's house on Sunday night after church for another cookout and swimming. We had our own family of 4 cookout on Monday and Vivian enjoyed her first watermelon. She can't be my kid if she isn't a fan of watermelon.

We were so busy with all the water play and cookouts that I almost forgot what Memorial Day was all about. It is hard to visit all the grandparents graves since they are all over the state but it is nice to remember the good times we had with them. Hopefully when the kids are older it will be easier to make our rounds to the cemeteries and tell them great stories about their great-grandparents.

On a lighter note, here are some fun pics from our weekend. If you notice a pic of Austin's ear, it is supposed to be in the collage. He got his first freckle this weekend on his ear. He named it Comet?? Needless to say, he was really excited about it. Funny thing is Nick has a freckle on his ear in the same spot....weird.
