3 Day Weekend!

Happy Memorial Day!
I love a 3 day weekend! Unfortunately, those just do not come around that often.  It was a busy weekend and the whole family had a great time.
It weekend started with our dear friends the Davis’ Birthday Party for Maggie! Happy 11th Maggie -and in dog years that’s 77 years old. Hampton lounged by the pool and enjoyed having all the kisses.
Saturday  was the annual Diminishing Republic Party. Hampton’s Grandmother helped find this little island that is only an island at low tide. So every memorial weekend Saturday everyone heads out to the island at low tide to celebrate. Hampton made his grand debut.  He loved the boat, the beach, and the party, but he really DISLIKED the Coast Guard Approved Life vest.
Sunday we packed up all the baby gear and headed to the south end for some beach time. Wow! One baby sure needs a lot of stuff.  We really do like the “pop-up” tent; which keeps the sun and heat off of Hampton.
Sunday night off the Aunt Amie and Uncle Jesse’s for a cookout with friends. Our friends Katie, BJ and Bryson were visiting from Raleigh. Also Mike, Susan and Sophia decided to join the fun!   Yummy food and great friends (mixed in with margaritas) – a fun time was had by all.
Monday wrapped up the fun weekend. We put a baby pool on the back porch; Hampton and Snoopy enjoyed cooling it in the water.
We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday – and stayed safe.  As much fun as we had- everyone needs to send a thank you to our military that keeps us safe-
Side Note: We watched the movie Taking Chance (with Kevin Bacon) - tissues are needed. This reminded me that although I had the luxury of spending this weekend with my friends and family. Many families had paid the ultimate sacrifice for this county. The movie was very moving and sad but you have to see it!
