Memorial Day Weekend

Thursday morning Daddy left for a wedding up north in Delaware.  He was out of town until late Sunday night.  This was the longest he's been away from us since Avery was born.  We all missed him, but I'm sure he was livin' it up child and wife free :)

On Friday we went to dinner with my family in Kernersville.  My aunt just celebrated her 25+25 birthday, so we thought she needed to be embarrassed with a Spanish version of "Happy Birthday" and an awesome sombrero.  Avery was not a huge fan of the hat.  

She was however a huge fan of the salsa.  And by huge fan I mean handfuls of salsa in the mouth.  No need to chips here people, those are unneeded calories.

Saturday we packed up everything but the kitchen sink and headed to Lake Norman.  The weather was BEAUTIFUL, dare I say, PERFECT.  We hardly ever hang out on the top deck on my parents dock because it's always too hot.  Well this weekend was perfect to be up there.  The even more perfect part about being up there is it's all gated, so the kids could play and we didn't have to watch them 100% of the time, only 99.9%.   The amazing thing to think about is this time next year there will be a house on the lot, so we won't have to drive home each night.  AND most importantly there will be a BATHROOM (sorry TMI).  Saturday afternoon we have a shrimp boil. Avery thought the shrimp and kielbasa were delicious.  OR maybe she liked the cocktail sauce and anything and everything she dipped into it.  Either way how stinkin' cute is the face covered in cocktail sauce.

serious cuteness!!!

On Sunday we headed back to the Lazy 5 Ranch.  This time Grammy, Christopher and Aunt Toni went with us.  Aunt Daisy and Grayson came from Charlotte to meet us.

On Monday we headed back to the lake WITH DADDY!!!  We had another beautiful day of fun in the sun.  Then of course Tuesday came and we headed back to work... boo!!
