Memorial Day Fun

This Memorial Day weekend we were lucky enough to head down to Charlotte to have a nice relaxing weekend and spend a little time with family.  We headed down Friday evening, and the fun started Saturday.  The day began with a great lunchtime BBQ.   Uncle Reid and Aunt Candice came over to join in the fun and brought their new dog Harriet.  We were a little worried about how grumpy little Ripple was going to react to a new dog, but after a few very snarly minutes to start, they warmed up to each other and were actually playing with each other by the end of the day!

Gram had set up a few pools in the backyard, one for the dogs and one for the kiddos, and before long, Evan and Ben were in their swim suits and having a ball.  The adults were also able to sit back and relax, have some delicious food and some great conversation.  We hung out the rest of the day, and were just able to relax.  The next day was more of the same with some time just to sit on the back screened porch and a great dinner out.

It was a great weekend and a great way to start the summer!
