Memorial Weekend, Part 3

Monday, Daddy and Mommy took us to Sequoyah Park. We had a really good time running on the nature trails, feeding the geese, and seeing the animals in the nature park.

We fed nearly 40 geese! After they ate all of our bread, we started giving them vanilla oreo cookies. They ended up eating all but 2 cookies out of the package!

Daddy and William carried on quite a conversation with this coyote!

This friendly beaver said, "Cheese," for the camera!

There were lots of deer all over the park.

We packed a picnic dinner and ate by the lake.

William and Wallace had their first taste of oreo cookies! William had a chocolate one and Wallace had vanilla. Mommy tried to take the rest of Wallace's cookie, but he wasn't going to give it up!

Here are some of Mommy's favorite photos from the day:

Grammy and Papa had some friends come in from out of state that we don't get to visit with very often. After church on Sunday, we went to Grammy and Papa's house for a fun visit.

Memorial Weekend, Part 1

We have had a busy Memorial weekend, but it has been a lot of fun! On Saturday, Grandpa Allen, Aunt Sunny, and Ms. Snow came over so that we could spend some time with them before Aunt Sunny headed back to her home out of state. We hung out at our house for awhile, then went to eat at the Cracker Barrel. We were going to go swimming afterwards, but the pool was closed so we went to a bowling alley instead. However, we didn't bowl, we had a great time playing games and riding go karts!

My favorite game was the "Deal or No Deal" game.


Abby did a great job on the virtual jump rope and won a lot of tickets!


Sydnee really enjoyed playing the hunting game with Daddy.


Sherrod had a fun time whacking the moles!


Elly liked catching the popcorn balls in the bucket.


Selah loved racing the virtual motorcycle and even came in 3rd place!


William had fun trying to race the car and playing on the virtual jump rope, even though he didn't win any tickets!


Wallace had fun just being carted around!


We all had a great time racing the go karts:



Elly rode with Aunt Sunny, then with Daddy


Selah rode with Grandpa Allen, then with Aunt Sunny


The people at the track were very nice to our family. While we were racing, they let William and Wallace play in the extra cars - they had a GREAT time!
