Our Fun Weekend

Well, our fun weekend really followed a BUSY week. I was in San Diego for work, so Nick had the children all by himself all week. Friday, as I was headed back into town, Nick headed to Decatur to play with Wes in the DCC Member-Guest golf tournament. Carter, Callen & I opted to stay at home Friday night {which turned out to be a smart move for a lot of different reasons, but that is a story for another blog post}, and we headed up to Decatur on Saturday morning.

The whole trip up there {which is about an hour and a half}, all Carter would talk about was seeing Mary Reese. So, I called Andrea to see if we could take Mary Reese to the pool with us. Mary Reese decided she wanted to go with us, and she and Carter swam and swam. Callen swam and slept in the stroller. Unashamedly, I have no pictures from that trip to the pool--my first with three children, and only one of whom knew how to swim.

That afternoon, Carter helped Debbie pick some peppers, tomatoes, and strawberries from her garden. He was so proud to show what he had picked and could name all of them, too. He even gobbled up one of the tomatoes.

Sunday morning, my children were up with the sun, so we took an early morning trip out to the Blueberry patch with Debbie and some of the Murphree clan.

Callen and Owen were having a ball, too!

After picking blueberries, we were going to go to the splash pad, but it wasn't open, so we played on the playground a bit before deciding it was entirely too hot not to be somewhere near water.

So, we ventured back to the pool. This little man couldn't have been happier to have gone swimming two days in a row with Mary Reese. He even decided to show off for her a little bit and jump off the diving board and go down the slide!

We finished off our weekend with a yummy meal of fajitas cooked by Uncle Christopher! It was a wonderful weekend, and we were wiped out when we got home...too bad there is no rest for the weary. We're gearing up for a fun July 4th weekend, too!
