holiday weekend fun

i hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend.  we enjoyed every bit of memorial day.  we did some fun things and caught up on some projects around the house.  here's a quick recap:

friday and saturday we went to granddaddy and nana's cabin at the lake.  camryn's cousins were there and they had a blast together.

camryn loved riding on the boat - she squealed like it was a roller coaster!

saturday night, the kids roasted hot dogs {with a little help }.

we headed home from the lake saturday night so that we could make it to church on sunday.  we did some not-so-fun things sunday afternoon {like laundry and lawn mowing} before heading over to a friend's house sunday night for a shrimp dinner and slip-n-slide time!

on monday, the schedule consisted of pjs, swimsuit, pjs, swimsuit, pjs, bath, and a new set of pjs.  

no lie - camryn never made it into clothes all day.

first, she painted her giraffe.

then onto some pool time.

followed by lunch and naptime.

after nap, we tried a new snack.  a healthy alternative for chocolate-banana pudding.

chop up 2 bananas into chunks and freeze.  once frozen, put in a food processor with 1 tsp of cocoa powder and blend into pudding.

 it was a hit!

then back to the pool and dinner.  

after dinner we all enjoyed a special memorial day treat.  angel food cake with whipped topping, strawberries and blueberries.

ignore the wild hair - it was a long day!

now, i'd say that's the perfect ending to a long weekend!
