So this past weekend was Memorial Day weekend. A nice, long, exhausting weekend, spent with family and friends. It was really nice but, for some reason, I didn't take a single picture!
This is Asher's preschool class. (with two little sisters and another little girl from some other class!) The picture is pretty fitting, what chaos it must be to be a preschool teacher. Mrs. Nanette was an amazingly patient and wonderful teacher.
Asher enjoys "reading" to Sadie.
They play together really well (most of the time).
Sadie the ballerina.
Hope you had a nice weekend too.

The "Big Creek"

On Saturday we went to a picnic/birthday party at a campground near Bays Mountain. There was a big playground, with lots of slides. There was a lot of food, including chicken from Chik-fil-A. But despite these favorites of the kids, there was something even better...a creek. Or a "big cweek" as Sadie calls it.Asher was hesitant at first, not sure that he wanted to get in, the water is cold...Sadie, on the other hand, walked right in with no regards to her skirt, shoes, shirt, cold water or anything else.
It wasn't a very hot day, maybe the high 60's-low 70's, overcast and slightly rainy.Asher did decide to get in, at which point, there was no desire to get out.

They had a great time fishing...playing with Daddy, Uncle Scott and their cousin Tyler.



It made for a really fun day, and two very tired kids!
Tonight when I was putting Sadie down for bed, she was telling me all about her day at the creek. She evidently saw lots of things there, like snakes, bears, fish (purple and white, of course) fishing poles and even clouds flying. She said it was lots of fun and I agree. It was lots of fun.

The "Slippy Slide"

We have finally had warm enough weather to play outside in the water! Asher is especially thankful for this, since it means that he gets to play with his "slippy slide" as he calls it.

There is something about kids and water.























It doesn't seem to matter how hot or cold it is, they can't seem to resist playing in it.

In any form, whether it's running through it,









Splashing in it.Sliding in it.



























It equals happiness to them.
