Well, so much has happened over the last few days.....
Friday, Dennis took the day off and we enjoyed a nice lunch out with him, Logan and Evan and then that evening he took the big boys to see Kung Fu Panda 2. I stayed home with Logan and packed for the weekend and cleaned the house.
Saturday, we got up and hit the road for Claytor Lake to visit with my 3 college roommates and their families. Every other year we get together at a different place. There are 9 kids between us now, aged 6 months to 9 years old! After meeting Aunt Jen for lunch we arrived at the house and spent that afternoon hanging out by the lake. The boys and Dennis enjoyed the paddle boat and the squirt guns. Evan had everyone cracking up that evening when he was eating his smores and his face and hands were covered!
Sunday, we took all the kids to Virginia Tech and toured around the duck pond and the stadium. One of the dads said, "You have to study hard if you want to come here". Evans response was, "No, you have to practice football."! The boys seemed to enjoy seeing Virginia Tech. Colin liked feeding the ducks at the pond. Evan was disappointed to not see the Hokie Bird anywhere. After a great pizza lunch at PK's (Dennis was thrilled to get to go back there), we did a bit of shopping and then headed back to the lake for some fun again. The grownups stayed up late playing a game and then we got up early Sunday and headed home. What a wonderful weekend it was!

The boys were exhausted when we got home. Evan even took a 4 hour nap! Memorial day was uneventful as we were all tired and wanted to just stay at home.
Sunday was also my parents 40th wedding anniversary! My secret project that I mentioned previously was a photo book that I made for them with pictures of them through the years, us kids growing up, our families, and all the grandchildren. It took a lot of time and my sisters and brother helped in collecting all the photos. I was happy to hear that they absolutely loved it!
By the way....I was really bummed all weekend that I brought my good camera, but forgot to put the memory card in it! So, I was unable to take any pictures! Luckily, I was able to get some photos from one of our friends, but I am still disappointed I wasn't able to take some from this fun weekend!
