Memorial Day Weekend

We had a busy weekend of sleepovers, swimming and lots of SUN! The weather couldn't have been better for our 4-day weekend. Allison started off with a Glamour birthday party of Thursday night and then had Lorien spend the night. They spent lots of time practicing for their Eye of the Tiger dance for the 2nd grade talent show.

On Friday, Reanna came over and spent the weekend with us while Lauren had her soccer tournament out of town. Emily joined us on Saturday too and the girls had lots of fun going to the movies and spent most of the day in the pool. Although somehow I only managed to get pictures of Allison and Reanna.

Then on Sunday it was up to the Taverrite's for more swimming and a delicious BBQ. The kids loved jumping off of the waterfall, chatting in the hot tub and took lots of breaks to play Just Dance in the theater. We ate way too many appetizers, carne asada and desserts. We had brownies, chocolate covered strawberries, cheesecake and homemade rocky road ice cream. Good thing we danced alot! CANNONBALL!!

Gator as the lifeguard.

Karen's family is moving back to Georgia in a few weeks, so it was a nice opportunity to get everyone together one last time.
I hope this is the 1st of many summer get togethers.

The festivities continued on Monday with a BBQ at the Sommer's. The kids swam and we ate too much again. Wendy is known for her fabulous baking skills and she didn't disappoint. I was stuffed after all of the yummy dinner, but left room for her delicious cookie/brownie bars. Yum!



Unfortunately we had to keep it an early night since we still have 2 weeks of school. Definitely looking forward to next year when we get out on May 27th...
