A Lake Martin Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day weekend at the lake. It was a wonderful getaway. Dru's parents, us, the Allgoods, the Fowlers, Uncle Taylor & Jessica and Uncle Miles. Plus lots of visits from different friends. We had so much fun and I was sad to go Tuesday morning. The house was full of little ones, but that's all we know now, so it is wonderful {in my opinion at least ;) }

There was lots of swimming and playing in the water..

Cope and Simms enjoyed posing for pictures, for once!

And of course there was a few times Simms got to be the captain!

We had a great time! The kids did so much better than I expected. Cope was beginning to get moody on Monday, but I know he was so exhausted. He even fell asleep on the little rug in front of the fridge one night. We hope to be back this coming weekend & can't wait! And I was so happy to come home and find my gardenia bushes weighed down with that most wonderful, fragrant flower. And what makes me even happier is that my grandaddy gave me and Dru 11 more bushes he'd rooted and grown which we planted in the yard 2 weeks ago. They are doing great and we can't wait till they are as big as these first two he gave us! That is so special to me to have those growing in my yard from him!
