Memorial Day Weekend in Orlando!

Friday was my last day of school- I am officially out for summer!!! We usually like to celebrate my first weekend of summer with a little getaway. This year, we decided to head down to Orlando to visit family. We've been making this trip for 10 years! It's been fun to see the cousin grow up- although it's starting to make us feel old!

Riley and I going for a ride through the neighborhood in their hand-built car. SO fun! Yes, Riley was six the first time we came down, and now he's driving. Crazy.

Matt's turn!

Sweet Abby- she graduated Friday and is heading to Clemson in the Fall! Smart girl ;)


Frozen yogurt with the cousins


No we didn't plan to match

Alana turned 18 this month and graduated high school... she's heading to Furman in the Fall!






So thankful for these two


The setup for Lynnea's piano recital ;)




After he show, she turned it over to Graysen- sweet siblings



On Monday, we went canoeing by Uncle Gregg's house- on the way, we saw a wild turkey and her chicks! (Is that what you call baby turkey?)



Little birds' nest in our canoe :)


Turtle! (It's the little things...)


Fishing is a serious sport apparently... I look concerned

Got one!!

And another!

And then Gregg got me to hold it...


Walking back from the river

Gregg showing off his turtle shells- he's a big kid ;)



My future Tiger, Abby! Can't wait to come see you in the Fall!



Sweet Grandpa :)

  3. You guys always have fun no matter where you go and who you're with!!

    P.S. Did you mean to say Memorial day not Labor day? (Labor day is in September). Your title just threw me off. :)
