Memorial Day

Are Memorial started off a little disappointing to a certain 3 year old we know. Ryan was schedule to Umpire Baseball games in Westphalia for their Memorial Day Baseball Tournament yesterday. Ryan was getting his stuff all ready on Sunday night, and Tyler asked him what he was doing, so Ryan told Tyler that he was going to Umpire Baseball Games. Well, Tyler wanted to go, so I decided that we would all go and make it a family outing. We get up and head out to Westphalia by 8am on Monday Morning. We pull up to the Stadium and there was no one there... I notice the Marque says May 28th, and I tell Ryan that May 28th was on Saturday. OOPS! Ryan felt awful and he immediately called the women in charge to apologize to her for not being there. Ryan just figured that since it was a Memorial Day tournament it was on Memorial Day. Well, Tyler pouted the whole way home (you can tell in the first picture) and Ryan was trying so hard to make it up to him... Tyler settled for donut holes and Chocolate Milk. He also settled for a fun Morning of Frisbee Golf at Lions Park. We took Cooper and met our friends, the Vaught's for some walking, Frisbee, and park fun. We were all so hot and thirsty afterwards that we thought a fun outing to our local Splash Park would be a fun way to beat the heat during the afternoon.

I took Tyler to this Splash Park a few times last year and he liked it, but was still a little uneasy of some things. Yesterday, Tyler shocked us at how much he loved it and the slides he would not touch last year he would not stop going down them this year. It truly a wonderful outing for our family, and I loved how we all 3 just laughed for hours why we there. It truly felt so good to be there with my family and good friends.

Overall our weekend was so wonderful and one spent with family and friends. We got to spend a lot of time with the Vaught's who we spent more time with them this weekend than we have in a very long time. Due to work and School schedules we just don't get to see them that often. We also had a fun Dinner on Sunday night with the Cabaniss's. Tyler adores Luke and Avery and I adore their Mommy.

We are so thankful for a blessed Memorial Day weekend and for all of those Service Men and Women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
