We always kick the summer off with a good ol' Memorial Day weekend celebration at the mountain colony, with tons of friends and family around. The weekend consists of a lot of lake time, topped off with the picnic/squaredance combo Saturday night.
We drove up Friday evening, and the girls stayed up a little later than normal refamiliarizing themselves with Grandmom and D-Dad's mountain house. It didn't take them long. Soon, they were running around and dumping toys out all over the floor, just like at our casa!
Saturday morning, since we are such early risers, me, Stephen, and the girls went on a walk and got in some good swinging time.
For brunch, all the ladies went to a shower for a girl who is getting married in a few weeks. It was at a beautiful winery/vineyard only a few miles from the mountain house. It was gorgeous... almost felt like we were in California, not the mountains of South Carolina.
After we got back, we headed down to the lake. The girls loved it! The weather was just perfect, so it was nice to cool off from the warm sun in the rather chilly lake.
After late naps (me, included), we got ready for the picnic and squaredance. This was Taylor's first official squaredance!
Sunday, we went to chapel in the morning, and then Stephen and some of the guys went to play golf. I braved the lake without Stephen, and managed to do okay! (thanks to my dad for assisting when needed). We ate a huge meal, and then Stephen and I decided to make the trek back home after dinner. The girls fell asleep on the way home, and we got back around 10:00. We were tired, but it was nice to have a full day off at home on Monday to get things done.
We topped our weekend off with some fun times grilling out with the neighbors. It was a great weekend! Can't wait to do it again.
