We had a great, low-key long weekend with the whole family. Rach and the kids were still in town, and Alex and Tippy as well. On Friday morning, Mal, Rach and I took the kids to the zoo...
It was great weather and even though we were literally the first people in the zoo, all the animals were up and out! And we got up close and personal with a lot of them...
The kids really enjoyed the day together...
Too-matchy...they might live a few hundred miles apart but these cousins (and their Mallie) have similar taste :)
Arghhh, too old...looking way too old!
Friday night we did some playing, swimming, and grilling...
Pink ladies in the pool :)
The boys grilling in the "man area"...I was allowed back for photography purposes only...
Saturday and Sunday, it was more of the same! (The girls also got in some mani/pedis and shopping)
Pizza and movie night...
Recently the media room has only been for screening Disney it seems like...
Memorial day can be summed up by swimming and smoking (meat that is!)...oh and Nicky B having a little toddy by the pool :)
Between catching kids jumping off the side and passing Liam swimming under water to and from the steps (okay and some laying out!), I didn't take many pics outside that day. But I did catch Brynnie skinny dippin' that afternoon...she is def another water baby!
With so many in town and too much technology in one house, this picture was inevitable...yes they are all playing "when I grow up" on ipads :)
But I'm happy to report that they were much too busy with forts, band sessions, puzzles, (and swimming) to stay on the ipad for very long...
Great day with family, so fun to all be together! After the kids went down, we had lots of fun card games and talks around the kitchen table. So blessed today and always to be part of this Renfro-Barker-Smith-Lingerfelt family :)
Linds and JE came out for the pool party and smoked ribs...and brought her famous deviled eggs!
Love watching these little girls grow up together :)
Of course special thanks to our favorite solider Capt. David Cameron Smith III and his amazing wife and kids for their selfless service every day for this country. We continue to be so proud!
