Memorial Day weekend

We TRULY enjoyed our Memorial Day weekend 
and the time we spend with family and friends!

Friday night we had a weekend kickoff bonfire
but due to rain {like every weekend has had}
we had a garage party..
what fun was had! Fun with friends...always a good time! 
On Saturday we packed up our bags and headed to the lake for some camping!
Our first overnight camping trip...
luckily we had amazing family that let us use the camper so we didn't have to rough it in a tent
and said we can use it anytime {which we may take them up on it, every weekend :)}

After playing with cousins, checking out the lake, swinging, and  a bonfire
it was time for dad to read books
then snuggle before bed!
Breck was such a trooper....loved sleeping in the camper
and even let us sleep in till 9:45 a.m
And the weather was AWESOME! Can't wait to do it again soon!

Sunday, was a pretty low key day & night!
We had dinner at the lake
then home to relax!

Memorial Day was a perfect day!
Breck & I met my mom and dad who was in the VFW Honor Guard out at the Lake Ripley Cemetery for the annual memorial service.
It was beautiful.
The people,
the flags flying as they lined the cemetery,
the sounds of the guns and the taps.
A day to remember all of our service men and women
then and now.
It was also a hot and muggy day
so my sis and I set up the pool we bought for the summer..perfect day or that and should be ready {filled and warmed up} by the end of the week.

We then invited my family over for a barbecue to end the weekend!
We enjoyed delicious food,
then took a walk to the cemetery to honor our loved ones.
May have been the best
most memorable
Memorial Day weekend.
