Memorial Day Weekend

This past weekend, Momma Pam, Kathryn, and I headed to Athens, GA to spend the holiday with Kiki and the boys.  We left Friday morning and returned late Monday night.  We had a fun packed weekend.  Friday when we got into town, we spent lots of time playing.  The girls got a way for a bit to do a little TJ Maxx shopping.  Saturday, we went to Jenning Mills and spent a few hours poolside.  Kathryn loved playing in the water with Garrett and Dakota.  She especially loved playing with the diving rings which she called hula hoops.  Sunday, we drove to Helen, GA.  We did a little bit of eating, a little bit of shopping, and ended the day tubing on the Chattahoochee River.  For the first 2-3 minutes, Kathryn was unsure of tubing, but she quickly warmed up to the idea of it and loved the experience.  And, I have to say, the whole tubing experience was quite funny.  I laughed so hard.  Momma Pam lost a Croc and fell out of her raft, Kiki got stuck between a raft and a rock, and I absolutely laughed so hard that I could not stop.  It was truly a comedy of errors.  I think Kathryn's favorite part was riding on the big bus to the tubing drop off point...she talked about the bus ride quite a bit.  Monday morning, we got back on the road to Clarksville.  We decided to stop and do a little shopping on the way home.  We ended our day at Opry Mills.  I needed a dress, Kyle needed something for Flying High this weekend, and I really wanted to eat at Chuy's.  So, after successfully shopping, we ate, and then came home.  It was a fun weekend!!!
