Memorial Day Madness

The crew headed up to the lake this past weekend and had a blast. It was total chaos, don't get me wrong, but in a good sort of way! You know it's gonna be fun times when you start out with a hat like this...

Ha! Let's hope his real hair never gets this long!

It wasn't too long before we headed down to the lake...can you guess who loves a good golf cart ride?

The two munchkins were so ready for some fun in the sun


They started out by making sand castles, which was really more Jackson making the castle and Madison supervising. She was more concerned about staying properly hydrated.

Then the real test came--getting in the water. Great news! Both kids loved the water this year! Hallelujah! Last year we were so very disappointed when we got all the way over to the beach and Jackson wanted nothing to do with it.


This year both kids loved it--here's Maddie doing her favorite water activity...floating:) She did this for 20 minutes at a time!

Little Lila couldn't go for boat rides just yet, but she enjoyed being held by everyone. Aunt Glenda got some Lila time, but Gigi probably had the most!


Papaw's birthday was Sunday so he and Sharron came up for a celebration.


After we sang happy birthday to him I snapped a few more pics. I think this one is so sweet of J with his Gigi.



And this is pretty cute of Lila with her great grandpa.


After lunch it was time to hit the water again. We had two baby pools blown up at the house and the kids loved them. Jackson really liked how the dinosaur could spray everyone. Look out Maddie!

They did many rounds down the slide


and each time it was pure joy.


After so many rounds on the slide, the two big kids konked out for the afternoon. When they woke up it was time for a little baseball. My dad cracks me up in this pic-look closely, he's playing ball while holding a beer and babydoll.

I thought this just summed up the weekend. These two are having so much fun together these days. For some silly reason they set up their lawn chairs indoors to watch cartoons. Jackson also decided he still needed his shades and Maddie of course needed a doll. Too cute!
