We have had such a busy holiday weekend! We got things started off on Saturday morning at Lake Hartwell. Our friend's husband had just returned from basic training for the Army Reserves and she threw him a Welcome Home party at her parents' lake house. Hayley was not too in love with swimming in the lake, but she seemed to enjoy swimming with Kate much better than with Andy! Hayley did, however, let Andy take her for a ride on a jet ski, which she called a motorcycle.
That evening we went to Pendleton to see the fireworks with Ansley, Jarod, Lani, Dax, and Harper. This was the first time Hayley had ever seen fireworks and she actually seemed to like them and not be too afraid. I used to love going to that, but I hadn't been since I was in high school, so I enjoyed going back. Hayley called the fireworks "magic."
The next day, we got to go to a party at the Civic Center being held by Michelin. It had great food and all kinds of games for the kids, and everything was totally free! The best part was that our friends Nathan and Trisha were also there because Nathan works for Michelin also. It was great to get to hang out with great friends all weekend!
Now back to reality. Andy will be going back to work tomorrow and summer will be over before we know it. When fall gets here, though, we'll find a way to have fun then too!
