Luke hanging out with Faith and Lauren.
Chillin' in the swing
To the top of the tree house!
"Are there any more Wheat Thins?"
In between rain showersMemorial weekend can be summed up in one word....food! We went to 4 cook-outs and ate way too much. We started the weekend off right on Saturday by going to the Troutts where we had ribs, burgers, chicken and the trimmings. We topped it off with homemade vanilla ice cream and orange cake. Luke had a blast playing with cousin Lauren and her friend Faith. He also loved going up and down the stairs to the tree house. He wore all of us out with his energy. He was exhausted when we left and was asleep by the time we got to Long Hollow Pike.
Sunday morning we went to church. Luke walked right in his room and barely gave Paul and I a second glance. My how things have changed! We had a couple of hours to rest before we headed back to Gallatin to a party at the Kelley's house. This was our first year to go to this party. There were so many kids there; it was wild! They have a great pool and place to entertain. The Kelleys are originally from Lousiana so they served crawfish, black eyed peas, brisket and corn on the cob. I decided to forgo the crawfish, but I got a kick out of watching Jon and Kristen try it!
From Gallatin we headed south to Madison for the Reynold's annual Presleyterian Camp Meeting. There was a slight damper on the festivities because of a few rain showers. By this time Luke had had abut all the partying he could handle for one day. We cut our evening short after supper so he could wind down.
We ended the weekend with a cook-out lunch at Nonna's on Monday. Somehow I did not take single picture while we were there. We did manage to squeeze in some more yard work between eating! Paul was also busy getting ready for his business trip. He left this morning for a training in Kansas and will be gone until next Thursday. Time will tell how I do as a "single" parent!
