Memorial Day Weekend 2013

We headed down to the lake for Memorial Day weekend this year and had a wonderful time!  The weather was looking to be a little "iffy" the days leading up to us going, but it all turned out to be better than we could have hoped for!

All loaded up and on our way!

We got down to the house around 9:30 on Friday night and by the time we got unloaded and went to say hi to my parents, Brennen didn't get to sleep until almost 11pm!  My parents bought the house two doors down from Ryan's parents at the lake.  They are in the process of finishing their house so they came down this past weekend to work. I was worried about how grumpy Brennen would be the next day, but he was great all day. He's a true lake boy!

B wasn't too sure what to think about the fish but he asked to go fishing again, so I think he enjoyed it!

Enjoying a donut at Grandma & Grandpa's house

And can't have donuts without some chocolate milk!

We got up nice and early on Saturday becuase the dogs were anxious to get out of the house and go explore!  They pretty much wined all night so it was really hard for me to get much sleep.

It was a little cloudy when we got up and it ended up pouring for about 5 minutes, but then it cleared out and was a gorgeous day!  Ryan and I ended up meeting up with some friends for a few drinks and some lunch which was a blast!  We got to cruise on their pontoon boat which was amazing. I could have stayed on that boat all day! I unfortunately didn't take any pictures...what was I thinking??

Brennen stayed back with Nana, Papa & Aunt Sarah and took a nice nap and a boat ride while we were gone. Ryan smoked some pulled pork so we played some games and enjoyed dinner and had so much fun!

We ended the day with a fire and s'mores...could it get much better?!?!

Sunday we went for a boat ride and hung out on the dock and relaxed most of the day.  It was so nice to be away and enjoy ourselves so much!

Brennen did amazing with the potty training while at the lake. He didn't have any accidents the whole weekend!  Such a good boy :) He did struggle some getting back home and into the swing of things, but I think it is some our fault too. Trying to remember to take him every 30 minutes or so is quite the task!  He continues to stay dry at night and during naps too. He did have his first accident in bed, but I think we didn't get him up quick enough. Other than that he has done amazing! I am so proud of how quickly he has picked this up and don't miss the diapers one bit :) 

We don't get service while at the lake, but I had to sneak away a few times to check my phone to see if we had any showings on the house.  I was surprised to see 2 showings set up for Saturday, and 2 for Sunday!  Turns out one of the people who came to look on Saturday returned for a 2nd showing on Sunday.

We got home Monday around 2:30pm and ate lunch and started unpacking when I got a call that we had another showing from 4:30-5:30pm that night.  Ryan quickly mowed the lawn while I did a quick cleaning of the house and we were once again packed in the car with B and the two dogs.  Not exactly what I was looking forward to doing that evening. 

Spending some time at the park during the showing

Long story short, it was the same person coming back for a 3rd showing and they stayed an hour past the scheduled showing time. So at 6:30pm we could finally go home! We were exhausted and all I was thinking was this better be worth it! 

She did end up putting in an offer and we countered, but then we haven't heard anything.  We don't really know what happened and our realtor said we should just move on.  So, that is what we are doing...
