Memorial Day Weekend

As soon as we were out for summer, we picked the boys up from school, and headed south.  We spend Memorial Day weekend at my in-laws house at the beach every year, but we never go to the beach then.  Too crowded.  We hang around the house and pool.

My little fellas before church!

I normally don't do the church nursery when we visit grandparents.  I just hate leaving them with workers/kids they don't know, and won't see again.  Eli would have been fine in church.  Landon (at this age) ...... that's another story.  So, I gave Eli the choice to stay in the nursery or go to big church.  He picked the nursery.  After church when we went to pick up the boys the workers told us both boys were crying and very upset, so they put Eli in the baby room with Landon, and they both started smiling!  Eli played with Landon the whole time, and everyone was happy.  Win, win.  And sweet brothers.

 It's a tough life with nothing to do but float around the pool.

My guys!

On Memorial Day we got up and headed to the Track.

On this trip Landon was able to ride the train, and Eli was finally tall enough for some of the bigger rides.

Everyone loves bumper boats!

All four of us raced on go-carts, and had the track to ourselves!  Fun times!

Landon boy couldn't hang though.

Another milestone:  Eli was finally tall enough to drive on the small track by himself.  He was so proud!  By the last few laps though, he was slowing down.  That foot was getting tired of holding the gas pedal down.

Eli couldn't leave without getting Mommy on the bumper boats.  Our boat actually ran out of gas right after we started, but the workers got us towed to the side.  We switched boats, and were ready to get back in the water wars.

We had a lot of fun, and a very relaxing weekend to kick off summer.  We're looking forward to our next trip to the beach and actually getting our toes in that white sand!
