Memorial Day Weekend

So I don't know about you but I thought that this Memorial Day went by way to fast. I think that it felt that way because Henderson County had school to make up for all of the snow days that we missed. So it was like any other Monday. Saturday on the other hand was a very good day. I cant believe that I did this, but I took my children to the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia SC, BY MYSELF. AHHHH!!! What was I thinking right. Holiday weekend, lots of people, a 6 year old, a 5 year old, and ME! Sounds stressful right. It actually turned out to be not that bad. It remained cloudy most of the day so it was not that hot which always makes things easier with kids who are walking around. I ain't carrying them that is for sure and we are way past the stroller age. They had lots of fun exploring things. Eider has a tendency to keep them reined in a little more than me so I think they thought it was freedom. ha ha We did it all! Carousel, pony rides, climbing wall, feeding every animal (that would still eat at this point), and then had a picnic. Good day! They were so exhausted by the time we left around 5pm, they both crashed out in the back of the van. When we got home, we had planned to pitch a tent in the back yard to camp, but the rain had other plans. We stretched sheets across the furniture in Keelies room and got out the sleeping bag. Camp out indoors. It was fun. Sunday after church (which was a great service) we took the kids to play putt putt downtown. Monday was a lazy day but Keelie had school. Today, back to the grind. I hope that everyone else had a blessed weekend and enjoyed your time with friends and family. The only thing that I can not believe is I went a whole Memorial Day weekend without having not one hot dog or hamburger?
