Golf, Blueberries and Cousins

We spent this weekend in Decatur, Nick's hometown, so that he could play in a golf tournament with a good buddy of his. {aside: They won the tourney! They had a weekend full of rain delays, and I had to head home with the children today, so we missed the big finale. Nonetheless, we are super proud of Nick and Wes!}

While Nick and Wes were playing golf, we got to spend time with family we don't get to see as frequently as we would like. We visited with the Murphree family first thing on Saturday morning and then the Stephensons were kind enough to host us at the pool. We got to swim with friends and cousins Mary Reese had both of my children swimming to her from the steps and then she would send them back to the stairs for more! No pictures because it was BUSY and I was solo.

Debbie kept the children so Nick and I could attend the evening events, and they had a big time. They went on walks to the gazebo in her neighborhood, saw some bunnies in the front yard, watered her garden and picked and ate strawberries off the vine. They were excited to tell us all about it the next morning.

This morning, all the cousins headed out to pick blueberries {a summertime tradition!}. It was HOT, but fun.

Off to pick blueberries

We enjoyed getting to see family and play with cousins. After our blueberry picking experience, we packed up and headed home. I think my two had a full, wonderful weekend.

What do you think?????
