Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great Memorial Day weekend!

 

On Saturday we decided to pack a picnic and visit a local park.  We let the kids play on the playground for awhile and then went for a long walk on the Greenway.  Afterwards we had our picnic lunch and then ran a few errands.

 

Sunday worked out perfectly for some "one on one" kid time.  Savannah had been asking for weeks to have a play date with her friend Grace and also wanted to go to the pool for opening weekend . . so we combined the two and took Grace to the pool for a play date.  I have to say it was heaven for me.  I sat in the shade and read some magazines while the girls played!  When they were tired of the pool we went home and they did some science experiments before it was time for Grace to go home.

It also happened that Preston's bestie Luke invited him to a Charlotte Knights baseball game at the same time on Sunday.  So Luke, Preston and their daddies went to the baseball game.  It was a super long game, but they had a blast! 



Monday we decided to take the kiddos to play Putt Putt.  It was quite comical watching Preston rake the ball into the hole and Savannah swinging like she was playing baseball.  Never the less, they both had a great time.

By hole 18, we were all hot and exhausted!

We ended the weekend with a good old fashioned cookout.  Cheeseburgers and corn on the cob fresh from the grill.  Yummy!  Oh, and then we surprised the kids with a trip to Brusters.  What holiday weekend would be complete without delicious ice-cream?!
