Memorial Day Weekend

I spent the Memorial Day weekend in North Alabama for the Alabama Jubilee-Hot Air Balloon Festival.  I spent time with my sister, Colin, Eli (brother-in-law) and his family.  I am good friends with his sister and I've known his family for several years so I just felt like part of the family.

We drove up Friday afternoon.  We spent from about 9-5 every single day at the pool and Friday night we went to the Alabam Jubilee.

Chill out dude...love this little guy!

I had my Sonic Vanilla Coke....so yummy!

Before my tan/burn.

Loved seeing all of the balloons.

Me, Colin, and Kim

Me and Carrie....we go way back!

went to Zoo Light Safari at the zoo,

and met Kim, Eli, and Colin for dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

Then we headed back to their house to cuddle up in bed and watch a Christmas movie...

I convinced them to watch Miracle on 34th Street.

Love that movie!

Yesterday, I spent the day baking cookies for the teachers that I work with.

I also made some for us to enjoy at home.

Obviously, I got this idea from pinterest.

Miscellany Monday

{ONE}

Sunday funday was a success, as always! It was

just such a relaxing day on the beach.

{TWO}

I grilled for the first time yesterday. I made hotdogs and hamburgers. Everyone ate them, so I guess that I did a

pretty good job.

{THREE}

Every Sunday night is a happening night for Valentines. Everyone goes there and they have a band. I wanted to play the tambourine so bad so I worked up the courage and played with them for a good 20 minutes. Haha. I attempted another instrument, but I'm not sure what it's called. It was so much fun!

{FOUR}

Last night at dinner, I ate dolphin dip. It's not really dolphin. I guess it's a dolphin fish, but the point is that I ate it. I'm so proud of myself for trying new things. I liked it too!

{FIVE}

Happy Memorial Day although the Bahamas Memorial Day isn't until June 3. I know everyone in the states is enjoying this holiday weekend.

{SIX}

Happy Mingling!!!
