I know I have not been blogging alot this summer, but we have been sooo busy. My new job keeps me busy busy Tuesday through Friday, but it leaves me a three day weekend to play with my family :) So this summer started off with a last minute trip to my grandparents house in South Carolina. I learned a few days before that my office would be closed the Friday before Memorial day giving me a 4 day weekend. So I threw everything together and after work on Thursday night I picked up the kids and we made the 8 1/2 hour drive. The kids slept pretty well as I drove all night. It was a quick trip, but a super fun one and we managed to see all the family.
Meeting the cousins
Play time
Curled on the bed watching TV
Grandpa taking the great grand kids for a ride on the lawn mower
Grandma and grandpa with all the great grand kids
My cousin and his wife

My aunt
Upon returning we got the pool fixed and then it was swim time!
Our annual 4th of July kickin wing fire works, always a hit with the kids
The smoke bombs
What's a party without silly string
Grandma and uncle always have as much fun as the kids do
Grand finale sparklers baby.

After our hike and some lunch we drove another hour to show the kids where we lived in college and the campus.
Then Hubby and I took a trip to mammoth cave and hiked and caved for about 5 hours. It was so awesome, but sorry no pics as we didn't want to be weighted down with a camera.

We also hiked at the local Nature Center this year too.
We even got in so time to play tennis.
Our daughter had her 4H cookout at Rocky Fork Lake and we all had a great time swimming.
It was the kids first time to the beach and our son was convinced it must be the ocean. Again sorry no pics.
It has been a wonderful summer, but all good things must come to an end, the kids started back to school this week, but I'm sure our weekends will still be busy.
