Dad's birthday weekend

We spent the holiday weekend in Mentone to surprise my dad for his birthday. It was such a cute place with so much to do! Dad was definitely surprised to show up to all of us outside waiting for him :) The kids got to run around together for 3 days and we had some fun adventures. These cousins sure are loud and wild together, but have the best time!

       

We celebrated Josh's graduation/new job too! Tissue boxes seem to make sense to us..?

Little River Canyon

Canoeing and swimming in the creek at the cabin was their favorite thing!

Desoto Falls

Happy cousins!

Big thanks to Kramer for playing with Belle while we were gone! They had an awesome time playing.

Colin passed his swim test this week and gets to move up next time we start back lessons! He's swimming on his own and we're so proud! Connor is about a week away!

River weekend

This past weekend we went up to the river to visit Derek's family that was in town for Mother's Day. We fished, rode the boat, swam, and ate yummy food=great weekend! They boys loved sharing a room again and were sad they could only sleep 2 nights there, ha. I love watching the boys get braver and more adventurous each summer, they truly are so fun to be with. 

All weekends should start with Cracker Barrel! 

"Bubbles!!!"

Of course they loved helping drive. Too funny that Connor doesn't remember being on a boat before. He definitely enjoyed himself :)

Caught a couple fish--not into touching them

Quiet evenings 

Meritt, the water baby!

Boys were a little reluctant to try the kayaks, but once they tried it they were hooked!

All 3 were huge boating fans

Caught another one with Nana!

Relaxing morning eating cereal on the boat and lounging in the hammock

These 3 are going to have quite the adventures :)

Mamaw gave the boys star wars ships and they love them! Connor finally touched one fish.

This chatty boy is absolutely my mini-me! He loves people!

He loves to make people laugh too :)

I think she ate 1/2 the watermelon :) Teething baby was happy!

We had a great time with everyone and the boys are still napping hard! 

We're keeping Meritt today and tomorrow and as you can see...the boys wore her out! She is just so loving and funny, this age is just the best!
