We got up yesterday and packed bags and the van for the Peach Festival parade and the lake. We got to the parade and my cousin Lisa hollered (love that word!) for us to come sit with them. So we sat with Lisa, Danny, Hannah, Blake, Adyson, Becky, Greg, Emma, Samuel, and Anna.
It is so much fun to be with so many people we know. Caedyn loved waving to the people in the parade. She sat next to Blake, and he was too cute. He is 3, and really enjoyed the parade. He especially liked all of the tractors!
After the parade, we headed up to Gary's parents house. The kids both slept all the way there. The heat and excitement was a perfect recipe for a nap.
When we got to the lake of course G-Pop and Grandma (Gary's parents) were there, but so were Dara, Bernie, Cassidy, Granny, and Paw Paw (Gary's grandparents). We ate Shealy's BBQ, played with the kids, and put the kids down for naps. By the time the 3 young 'n's woke up, it was raining and thundering off and on. We waited it out and then went out on the boat.
When we got back I took Caedyn swimming off the edge of the dock, and G-Pop jumped in too! Then we went in for supper (Shealy's leftovers!), bathed Caedyn, put both kids in pj's and came home. They were both sacked out by the time we got home. Eli put up a good fight when we got home though.
It is so much fun being with family. Gary and I are so fortunate to have such wonderful families that are so nearby. I have two cousins that live in Rock Hill, and Gary has a cousin in Atlanta. But everyone else is right here. We love spending time with them, and we love that our kids are developing such special memories and bonds with so many of our family members.
