Memorial Day Weekend 2012

Memorial Weekend has always been a big deal in my family. We always go up to the lake. So this year was no different. We packed up our truck and our little family and headed up to the lake which is about 1.5 hours away. Not too terrible of a drive. On the way up there we stopped at a little Trade Days/Farmers Market and let Mavrick ride his first pony. =) He didn't really know what to think of it once he got on. But I figure it was a good $5 well spent for some cute pictures. 

 

We finally made it to the lake. And this time we rented some cabins and a trailer. It was so nice to have beds, AC, a bathroom, and a place for the babies (and pregnant women) to nap. We unloaded and then headed down to the lake. Here are some pictures of us getting use to the water!

It was really nice to have everyone there. We were only missing my sister Kami and Caleb who ended up having to work this weekend but all the nieces & nephews were there which made it really fun. They also had a perfect little kid area with slides, sand area and shallow water that was roped off.

  It didn't take Mavrick long before he got use to the water, which is good and bad! Once he is use to it after 10 min he is fearless which means we have to watch him like a hawk and keep floaties on him at all times. He kept swallowing the water! It was disgusting.

 

Proof that I swam and was at the lake too. 

 I love this picture!

 

 

Mavrick was being a sissy about being on the pier with Uncle Jeremy.

 

So...Ryan is the proud new owner of a Kayak. Jeremy got one for graduation and that is all he has been talking about since then is getting a Kayak. He loves it and went out early in the mornings on the lake to fish while we were there. Happy EARLY Birthday & Father's Day Ryan! =)  

 

  We all tried it out and even had some relays. I even enjoyed using it. I despise canoes but Kayak's are a lot smoother on the water. Here are some pictures of all of us having fun with the Kayak. =) Emma and Mavrick eating some breakfast and being cute together.

Another SUPER nice conveniece was that my Dad brought his golf-cart up for the weekend. I am usually a "lets walk" kind of a girl but not in Texas heat and when I am 6 months pregnant so it was very nice to have that. The babies LOVE riding on it too so it was a god distraction for them when we couldn't go swimming in the lake. I have no clue why these two were BOTH picking their noses right when we took the picture. Haha. =) Goobers.

 

We also got to go down the road to a blueberry farm and pick some blueberries. They were SO good! We definitly want some plants in the future. These were $1.25 a pound! The store rip you off so bad it angers me. AND they are not as good. So we ended up freezing a ton and will probably go back in the next week or so to get some more.

 It was a fun and relaxing weekend away from home and lives stresses. We all got in some good vitamin D in too. Thank heavens. I was starting to glow and Ryan had the biggest farmers tan I have ever seen! =)

Sincerely,

The LeBaron Family
