Memorial Day Weekend, 2023!

 

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!!!

I love these two quotes!  I am realizing more and more that our freedom really isn't free and it didn't come for free and we need to not take this for granted!!!!!  Thank you to all those who helped and still help keep this wonderful, beautiful country FREE!!!!!



We spent another weekend with the same six families under another roof at a river house!  It was lovely!  The weather was great!  

These girls just have a blast together!



Every year Martha Rose plans some games.  This year, the kids did this first and then us adults took a spin at it.  Literally!!!!  We had to spin 15 times around with our heads on a plastic bat.  Then as soon as we were done spinning, we had to run back to our team!  How do you run when you are dizzy???  You don't.  I feel down immediately!  It took me a few seconds before I could even get up and run with Natashias help back to my team!  Mike also spinner for 15 times and when he went to run back to his team, he ran straight towards a tree and nearly missed it!  This was a crazy game.



Martha always has the coolest gifts for the kids!



The food is amazing always!!!!  





The kids love this!!!!



The guys did play a few games of Acquire once again.  Look at their view!!!!  Right beside the river!




The river house this year only had four bedrooms.  Jr's took their camper and everyone else had their names put in a hat and we were pulled out!  I was actually into this because the kids loved sleeping in the camper and it was quiet! 🤩



The house had steps going right down to the river!  What a gorgeous view!!!!



Feeling all the yummy feels for Memorial Day!!!!



Here's the view from the back deck!  Just gorgeous!



Love these boys!!!!



Austin took his fishing gear along but when Javon caught this big catfish, Austin helped real it in.  



There's a cute little town nearby that Suz said they always have an open Saturday morning street market!  I couldn't wait to go see it!  We drove to the town and got to a big parade walking through the streets!  It was great!  Lot's of small market stands lined the streets!




And when the line is out the door, you must see what's inside.  We grabbed a pastry and coffee to!  



Memorial Day is about remembering all those who died or served or are serving our country!  Freedom isn't free and I forget that sometimes!  Freedom comes with a cost!  Thank you to all who have made our country a wonderful place to live!!!
