Memorial Day Weekend

It was a fun weekend! (And I didn't take very many pictures! Steven said it was so great not having the camera....Hmmm, he doesn't take the pictures or carry it..but I was so happy it was a load off to him! We didn't take it to the wedding or the pool! Crazy, huh?!) Steven and I headed out of town on Friday afternoon to Madison, Ga for a wedding. Steven's good buddy Tracy got married (on his actual birthday too!) We were VERY thankful to Mimi and Papa for coming up to help out with the kiddos! They had a great time playing together!
The wedding weekend was so fun! It was great to be with such a wonderful group of close friends and it was really fun to not be on a schedule! We got into town Friday night and headed to the rehearsal dinner at a really neat old Farm House that has been renovated. We had barbecue and celebrated the happy couple! It turned into a night of listening to some funny stories as always! Saturday was very laid back. We went into the cute downtown area and shopped around and enjoyed a SLOW lunch! The wedding was outside at a gorgeous old home and we were shuttled to the reception just around the corner! One fun note about the weekend is that I got to wear Aunt Mimi's dress from when she was in high school! It was a Lilly Pulitzer that was so fun! I am very happy that I fit in it and got to wear it again! Hopefully someone else will wear it one day again! Our group did NOT leave the dance floor most of the night! We literally danced the night away! It was so much fun! It's a little bitter sweet because it makes us realize how much we miss everyone! Sunday we went to a brunch before heading home. It was amazing. Truly something out of a magazine. It was at a gorgeous old home that had been renovated and decorated to the hilt! The gardens were beautiful, the food was amazing (and displayed beautifully!) and the house was amazing. We spent most of the time just looking around in awe! What a fun end to the festivities!
We got home around 2pm on Sunday and played with the kids all afternoon and evening in the backyard. We grilled hotdogs and corn on the cob and ate fresh watermelon! It was a fun evening! Today we went to the pool twice. It was lots of fun with LOTS of neighbors! We ate lunch down there and headed down again after we ate dinner. Both kids are exhausted and we are getting ready for another week! Lucy starts a new class tomorrow so wish her luck! Her whole class is moving so I know that will help, but she really loves her teachers and will miss them!
