Memorial Day Weekend

We spent our Memorial Day weekend in Weatherford spending time with family. Two of my cousins and their families were in town visiting from New Mexico, and we had a great weekend catching up and watching the second cousins play together. 

We got into town Friday night and spent the evening with Matt's parents. 

On Saturday morning everyone met up at Granny and Grandaddy's house for the day. The cousins all played outside in the front yard. 

These two Little Red Heads are the sweetest. 

The kids drew roads and a whole city out of chalk and then they rode their vehicles all around. 

Katherine spent the morning arranging all the pinwheels in the front yard that Aunt Kay brought over. 

The adults stayed in the shade and visited. 

We all came inside for lunch. It was fun watching the cousins play and bond and spend time together. My kids rarely get to see my brothers' girls, so they soak up any cousin time they can get with extended family.

They played in the backyard after lunch, and it brought back so many memories of my cousins and I playing together in Granny and Grandaddy's yard when we were little. 

The boys made some apple perfume with the apples that fell off the apple tree. 

My great aunt and uncle and their family came over to visit that afternoon too. 

Cousin Aaron is the most fun in the family. My kids always have so much fun talking and playing with him. Matt got a chance to visit with him some too. He owns a Chick Fil A and gave Matt some good advice on being a manager.

Katherine thinks Granny has the best snacks. She kept saying she was hungry for Granny's snacks, ha!

My sweet Grandaddy is leaving quite a legacy for his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Saturday afternoon, all the kids came inside to play and the adults even got to play a board game. My cousin Danny looked over and pointed out that Grandaddy was just sitting in his chair smiling so big watching all the activity going on in his house. Precious memories, for sure. 

Granny had enough patience to play Fast Track and the great grands. 

After dinner on Saturday, the kids were back outside riding their vehicles all over their chalk town. Nathan kept talking about how he wished we had a big driveway like Granny's. 

We all went to church together on Sunday morning and then took some family pictures afterward- which I still need to get from my cousin. 

We spent the afternoon with Matt's parents at the park and then went back to my cousins' rent house to visit for a couple more hours before we said goodbye. Our kids all played so well together, it was hard to say goodbye!

We spent Monday with Momoo and more cousins before driving back to Broken Arrow that afternoon. We were so grateful to spend so much quality time with family over the long weekend.
