Memorial Weekend!!!




















So the Summer is officially started and we are off to the races! I do not know about everyone else, but are weeks and weekends are booked to the hilt with things to do! I guess that is a good thing, but I always feel like I am running in circles getting ready for the next thing! I am going to try and keep up with the blogging, but as we all now I can get back logged!



Memorial weekend was so much fun for the family. We all left on Thursday afternoon and headed over to Atlanta for the night. On Friday we were meeting up with Reed, Melanie and her daughter Taylor to go to the Aquarium. Christian was so excited and could not wait to see all the sharks, whales and fish. He absolutely loves fish and was mesmerized by them all and could of watched them forever! We saw every type of fish you could of imagined and even some twice. I think the Beluga whales were his favorite and the sea otters too. They have this Deepo 4D movie at the Aquarium, which is a Nemo spin off and last about 15 minutes. Christian loved it and was even reaching out to catch the bubbles. He also stole the glasses when we left! Oh Well!

We left the Aquarium around 2:00 and headed over to Brian's parents lake house for the weekend.Both the kids napped for the drive, which was about two hours after was all said and done. When we arrived at the house everybody was excited to check out the lake. The weather was not supposed to be great that weekend, but we were holding out for the best. The water was a little chilly, but Brian was bound and determined to in. On Saturday we tried to get out early on the boat because the weather looked overcast. Brian, Reed and Christian went and got the boat and wave runner. Christian rode on the wave runner with Brian to the dock and I think he had a permanent smile on his face. Reed docked the boat and they all came in to get us for a ride. It was a little chilly on the water so not everyone had on a bathing suit. There was something wrong with the boat and it kept stalling so to make a long story short we got stuck out in the water. Brian went to get the wave runner and was showing off and ended up soaking the whole boat including his children! Yep! The kids were screaming and we were stuck in the lake freezing and oh did I mention he got the wave runner stalled in the midst of this too? We were stuck!!! A great way to start the morning :)!!! There was a good rain after that, but we got back on the boat later that day! Reed did some knee boarding and Taylor got to take a spin on the tube!
Sunday was a great day and we were able to get out on the boat almost all day. We did run into some rain, but not until after Reed and Brian took turns killing each other on the tube! Taylor also got more time on the tube! The girls thought the water was a little cold so we stayed in the boat. Brian was able to get Christian in the tube with him and he absolutely loved it! The day was perfect!
We had a great weekend going out, hanging out and just being with friends and family! Thanks to the Banta's for allowing us to stay in their house! Enjoy the pictures!
