Our Memorial Day weekend

We have had a very fun Memorial Day weekend. Dave was home and I encouraged him to be more spontaneous. I got what I asked for. 

Saturday we spent the day in Chatanooga. We visited the aquarium again and had lunch at the Mushroom, found this adorable brick couch and then played on The Passage. Those stairs that have water running down them were right next to the aquarium and led right down to the river. I adore Chatanooga and I adored those steps. They were the perfect spot to cool down on a hot day and they are free to play on, what's better.

Sunday, we decided to take a family venture out to Decatur to see the hot air balloons. Loved it! I think balloons will always fascinate me. They were gorgeous and the kids loved it. There was also a killer fireworks show, everything is better with fireworks.

Today, Cait and I got up super early to go hand drinks to runners for the Cotton Row Run 10k. Our ward apparently has handed out water at this spot for years now. It was a ton of fun and we even got soaked at the end of it all. Caitlin got me the most, which included two cupfuls of water to the face!  

Then later today, and by later I mean 11 a.m. we went to Guntersville beach again. It is oh so convienent and it is super easy to just let the babe sit and play on the edge of the water. Our summer is off to a most fabulous start! 

One more little note.... The kids are out of school and Miss Cait is out of elementary school! What? Yep that's right, she's a big kid now, moving on to middle school. This picture is of her first day in elementary school too her last day of elementary. So sad and look how big she is now! Sickening!
