It was a fun and full weekend of family and friends. We tried something new this year and got a sitter for all the kiddos so they could continue their backyard fun uninterrupted while the adults had a much more classy dinner. Do you know where we headed?
Love, Southern Roots! The food, the atmosphere, the music, the drinks, the staff...
We had lots of sunshine, therefore lots of sports were played by all...
Love the time we get to spend with family...
Anderson is our resident craft guru. This child saves every little thing he gets his hand on and plans a craft around it. He will be the future host of some amazing show. I introduced him to my craft closet and he was beside himself (probably half excitement and half dismay that I've been holding out on him so long!)
On Monday, everyone had gone home and Daddy had the day off so we decided to enjoy the beautiful day. We started off with a bike ride and trip to the playground.
Then we headed over to Country Park for a hike...
and visit to the Veterans Memorial. Each wall contains details of a different war. Below it are bricks with the names of those from our county who served.
The kids took it all very seriously and wanted to pay their respects. We took some time to read a lot of the history and talk about why we observe Memorial Day. We want to consciously do our part to Remember, Honor, and Teach our kids how America won its freedom and fights to protect it every day. Freedom is never free.
And no family fun weekend would be complete with out a Feeney's run...
