Memorial Day Weekend '09

Our weekend was packed full and we loved every minute of it! We started off heading to Dewey and Janet Dethrow's (my sister's in-laws) lake house at Lake Texoma. My parents were there for the weekend as well. To say we had a ball is an understatement! The kids wore themselves out and a great time was had by all! Mama D and Papa D - Thank you so much for inviting us to spend the day with you! It was such a treat and we cannot wait to come back!

We rescued a turtle from the middle of the road in Sherman. We decided the lake would be the perfect new home for him.

What's a Memorial Day celebration without hotdogs?

We left the lake and headed to Pops' and Lucy's house to spend a couple of nights. Pops took the kids to the Gainsville Zoo. They had such a great time and were all wiped out when they got home. Thank you Pops and Lucy for a wonderful weekend!

Once again - not real sure about the crossed arm pose. Must be a new, cool 4-year-old thing to do!
