Memorial Day Weekend...

I am SO excited to be off this weekend. It has been a while since I have had a full weekend to just sit and relax.! and that is just what I did. Saturday hubby smoked some ribs and grilled hot dogs and we were going to have a picnic outside but then the rain came. We just moved everything under the carport and still ate outside and had a great time. The kids just love "picnicking".

Saturday afternoon we went to Riverfest and had a blast! We walked across the new "River Trail" bridge which is nice except for the massive narrow staircase on either end. There were way too many people on the bridge and the staircase was way too crowded. I always get nervous about my kids around such a crowd. They love Riverfest and look forward to it every year. I don't know if any of you have seen the "Jack Links" commercials for beef jerky but Ethan thinks that is the funniest bunch of commericals so he was thrilled to see the big "monkey" out at Riverfest! :)
Sunday we played outside and grilled again. This was our grillin' and chillin' weekend. The kids had been begging to go swimming and my parents finally got their pool open so off we went at 7pm at night. We tried to convince the kids it was going to be cold and they wouldn't last five minutes in the water, but no convincing the two of them. They jumped in the water and played and swam for TEN minutes! Not Five.. so Ethan was quick to tell us we were wrong.

Lastly, we went to watch the fireworks on Sunday night. We went up to the VA Hospital and watched them the rest of North Little Rock. What a great way to top off a great weekend.
