Memorial Day Celebrations

We had a busy and fun Memorial Day weekend. Saturday we met our friends the Phelps and Muzechenkos for a picnic at the zoo. It was incredibly hot that day so the animals weren't very active and even the kids were a little more mellow than usual. We still had a lot of fun though. Then we had Auby's 1st birthday party at the Grace. Ava had a blast with Auby and Henley! After the birthday party we headed out to my parents for a family BBQ where Ava got to naw on her first rib and enjoy homemade ice cream for the first time and of course the cousins did some more swimming. Speaking of swimming we swam everyday over the weekend. Sunday we met our friends Jamie and Henley at the country club pool, Ava had a ball and as usual didn't meet a stranger. She loves new people! Monday we went swimming with Aunt Natalie, Nana and Keller at their apartment pool and then enjoyed a BBQ with the Casey's and Brazell's. It was a wonderful Memorial Day weekend filled with food, friends and fun! I'm so thankful we live in a country where we have the freedom to do all of these things.
