Memorial Day

For Memorial Day weekend, we went down to Chattanooga to stay with Gram and Papaw. Ryan's great Uncle and Aunt from Seattle were in town, so the least we could do is drive 90 miles since they flew across the country!

We had Sunday brunch (no church because of snotty kiddos--shocker) with family. Thomas driving the golf cart:

Then Thomas chasing Gavin on the tractor! Gavin loved this game :)

Back at Gram and Papaw's--Henley is a WILD WOMAN on this horse. I'm talking NO FEAR riding it back and forth.

My repeated failed attempts at a brother/sister picture with their red, white, and blue:


Low Country Boil time!


Gram and Papaw got new puppies!! Meet Rosco (white) and Roxy (black):

And of course a trip to Gram and Papaw's would not be complete without a ride on the tractors:

No-napper Gavin was falling asleep on the tractor!


Monday, we took it easy getting ready, putting on our Memorial Day best...
 .
..and then headed out on the boat!
Most pictures of Henley are smiling ear-to-ear, so here's a picture of her new complaining self. Whew, that girl! But how can I get mad at her when she looks this cute!?


The kids LOVED the boat:

Henley kept squealing! She was having so much fun!!




 And they loved the water! Gavin is such a fish. Swim lessons soon!
 You can see Gavin's huge grin if you blow this up:

Henley did not complain about this life jacket! We were shocked!

The water was AWESOME. Normally it's colder this time of year, but these hot days have helped!


Man, these kids are stinkin' cute!



Just so you know, most every picture where Henley is smiling this big, I am secretly tickling her! Sweet girl:



Papaw is a pro at sharing these 2 that fight over his attention!



What a fun 2 days! Thanks for hosting so many people, Gram and Papaw!
