Thanks to Nana and Papa's neighbors, the kiddos were able to get a lot of swim practice in this Memorial Day weekend. They enjoyed every minute of it! And we did too 'cause swimmin' sure wears some kids out!
Bright and early Sunday morning, we headed back to the park for Daddy's big race. This was the best picture I could get of him before the race (he's the tall one:).
Kathryn camped out on some other little boy's blanket watching a movie. This mom was so sweet to let me two watch a movie with her little boy. Unfortunately, her little boy was on the move as much as mine which left Kathryn watching the movie all by herself!
And here's the team (well, minus Walker)...
There's no way, Walker could have participated in the race. He was too busy taking pictures with my camera. Note to self, don't let a 3 year old play with your camera unless you want random pictures like this one to show up! I couldn't resist sharing the bulging belly;)
Are we not a sight? We were even dressed alike;) 
We even managed to squeeze in the kiddos last day of school! We thought these Dollar Tree finds would make a fun summer gift for their friends. And I wish I had taken a picture of the beautiful pot of zinnias they gave their teacher, Ms. Nancy. She's a gardener and flower lover like Kathryn, so I couldn't resist sending her some blooms as a thank you for such a wonderful year!
Did I mention that Tula also came to visit! Like I said, we had a house full and enjoyed every minute of it! Pops made it into town on Friday afternoon, which added to the fun of having everyone together. The guys even managed to score a night out to see Robin Hood. Not quite sure how that happened... mommies staying home to watch the kiddos while the men went to the movies, but I think they enjoyed their "man" time nonetheless! 
Saturday evening the family fun continued when we made our way over to the Dillons for playtime and dinner. Nana and Papa were in town babysitting, so we were thrilled to hand out with them and this happy little guy!
If we had only had the Smith's here, we would have seen the entire family in one weekend! Thankfully, they are headed south for the summer soon, and we can't wait!
And here they are enjoying our walk around the Botanical Gardens. This was our second visit of the weekend. The weather was gorgeous, the flowers were even more beautiful, and well, let's face it, a couple of walks around the gardens really wears our two out! 
Thankfully, Kathryn didn't divulge any of my secrets. She said she won't tell my age and doesn't know my height. When asked about my weight, she simply replied, "bigger." My favorite color are all the colors and my favorite food are all the foods (she got that one right!!!). I loved these two answers:
Needless to say, we've added a Minnie Mouse costume to our birthday wish list. And look at that eye shadow!
Kathryn, Walker and Jack hanging out on the swing once the crowd cleared out.
When I was growing up, we most certainly wouldn't have been playing dress up at family get togethers. There were only two girl cousins on my Dad's side of the family, so I was always surrounded by boys! Not the case with the great grandkids....Walker was dying for some boys to play with! Thankfully, Jack came with Uncle Bill and Gigi to keep him company!
The next day was filled with even more fun! Pops took a running leap off the pier and the kids were quick to follow!
It wasn't very pretty out, but it was quite windy. Can you guess what Pops caught on his fishing line?
A kite! I admit I would never have thought to connect a kite to a fishing pole, but according to Pops, that's the way they did it when he was growing up! 
Later on that night, the kiddos enjoyed a late night snack--cookies and ice cream! A sweet end to a great weekend!
We ended our day of shopping with Redneck Nachos for lunch! They are delicious! Corn chips topped with BBQ pork, baked beans and cole slaw. They were so good, we went back for seconds at dinner time!
I'll be back with more pics from the family get together...
