Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!

This weekend was awesome, especially the weather! Brian got off work early on Friday, so we spent the afternoon hanging out in the backyard and on the deck...soaking up the sun and swimming in our pools (yeah, we upgraded to 2 pools this year...it's a life of luxury when you can afford not one, but two kiddie pools!)In the evening, Sam went with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Ron to the GR Museum and saw a dinosaur exhibit. He loved it but got a little freaked out by the loud noises. He stayed overnight too, so Mommy was very excited to sleep in a bit on Saturday morning! (Especially after a late night out with friends watching the Red Wings game...darn that they lost!)Most of the day on Saturday was sort of gloomy, so we got a bunch of errands done and enjoyed naps in the afternoon. Today (Sunday) was again gorgeous, so after church, we enjoyed another afternoon on the deck. Then we grilled chicken and ate fresh strawberries and cantelope...yum! After that, we headed to Kollen's Park on the lake and walked the new boardwalk. Holy cow! It was a lot longer than we expected and we didn't even finish the whole thing because a certain 5 year old was "too tired". Ironically, he still had energy left to run around the playground. It was a gorgeous evening to be on the lake! To top it all off, we finished the weekend with a stop to Captain Sundae! Enjoy the pictures of our fun weekend!
Carter's 1st time in the pool and he LOVED it!

Got a put a sunhat on this fair skinned child...he's all Beckham!

Sam loves anything to do with water...he even put the sprinkler under his trampoline!

A life of luxury...chillin' and relaxin'

The infamous "Look"...I get this grumpy face when he's either mad or sick of me taking pictures!

Now this is the face I love! So darn cute!

This is as close as you'll get to seeing me in a bathing suit!

Love the pic of Brian stretched out in the kiddie pool! I may need to take a dip in ours soon :) Sounds like a fun weekend, gotta love Michigan summers! We need to remember days like these when there's 10 inches of snow.
