Memorial Day Weekend 2009

We had a fun and relaxing Memorial Day Weekend at the lake this year. Lee, the boys and I went up on Friday night, sat by the lake for awhile and then went to bed. On Saturday my mom, Mamaw, and Amy picked me up and we went to the outlet mall in Angola. It was so fun!

Amy bought this shirt... too funny.

That night we headed to Hog Hill in Hamilton for a grand fireworks display. They had 10 of the best firework companies from around the country ready to display their latest and greatest. Why they chose Hamilton, IN to do this, I don't know. It was AMAZING! The best show I have ever seen... and it lasted 1.5 hours.

Papa Sam, Krue, Kiefer, and Lee walking back to our "spot" after jumping on the moonwalk & enjoying some of the fun activities they had for the kids.

The Elkins Clan (right beside us) waiting for the show. Mom was taking the picture... and Dad was there too.

The boys thought the fireworks were really cool!

At different points the display was a bit overwhelming!

Some shots my mom captured...

On Sunday, Ali and Dustin came up to the lake after driving 24 hours from Texas!

They were tired, but happy to be there.

Amy bought some fun hair extensions and played with our hair.

Kiefer got the treatment, too :)
