Memorial Day Weekend

On Memorial Day weekend, we went to Gram and Papaw's to visit with Ryan's family that flew in from Seattle.

Ryan brought his banjo he got for Christmas and Julie pulled out her dulcimer:

Ryan forgot his finger picks so he made some out of guitar picks and duct tape! Hilarious.

It was so fun watching them pickin' and grinnin'.

Maybe I should pick up the Mandolin to join them!

Then Monday morning, we woke up and went out to garden with Gram & Papaw. 

Gav found four frogs and spent the next hour catching them!

 And of course a trip to Gram and Papaw's is not complete without a tractor ride!

Then Monday night we had a date night with some Knoxville friends of ours that have just moved to Chattanooga:

I wish I had my Nikon to take pictures of the boys in Meghan's glasses' reflection! My cell phone had to do because it looked really cool:

Then to celebrate Memorial Day, we drove through Chattanooga's National Cemetery. It was a great end to the day and seeing families gathering around their loved one's graves really reminded us what the day was all about.

It was a wonderfully relaxing weekend!
