Memorial Weekend 2010

Perfect weather for Memorial Weekend....when has that ever happened? Even the water was perfect. I personally think it was a payback for the brutal winter we had. Thanks Mother Nature, keep them coming!

On that note, to add to the perfect weather, we had a perfect weekend. Will was Mr. Independence...when he wanted to be. He was a bit Momma's boy all weekend which I usually love, but my arms are very sore from carrying him. He wasn't a big fan of the sand texture, picture above he's coming to be held.

We went for boat rides which other than the life jacket, he loved.

He had no problem relaxing.

Even Duke enjoyed his weekend. Let me rephrase that Duke LOVED his weekend. He got to roam free most of the time. After the first day of constantly yelling for him to get back here, we let him explore and come back on his own...unless he went too far which was rarely. He followed Will around giving us a glimpse of what it's going to be like for them as they grow. 2 best friends, it was precious. At one point, I even said "Follow Will, Duke" and he turned around and stayed on his trail. I think Duke is still recovering from all the playing, after all he is only 5 1/2 months old.

Will and Bennett played together too, Bennett is our next door neighbor, he's a little older than Will, but he loves Will and likes to come up to Will and say "Baby Will, you want to come play in the water with me" Will doesn't respond w/ words but gets up and heads to the beach.

Sunday evening we had dinner w/ our friends....and Will took off his clothes. Okay, he didn't take them off, he asked me too AND I figured we were at the lake in a relaxing environment, why should anyone have to wear clothes if they chose not too? Truly that should only apply for babies, adults don't get any ideas.

Our friends dog Basha was Will's entertainment for awhile, he walked her around the patio.

THEN, Monday is was clean up time. Papa & Grammy had a bathroom renovated in they garage and the tile people trashed the entire garage and contents w/ dust. Not happy campers to have to clean all that up, but it's all back to normal now and the bathroom is beautiful. Will helped his Daddy mop, until I came in w/ the camera and he ran over excited that I was there. Oh how he melts my heart.

He broomed a little too.
Can't wait for our next trip down, Will and Duke enjoyed their freedom so much. We hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Memorial Weekend.
