Back "Home".

Memorial day weekend we decided to take a trip back to Memphis. We had not been back since we moved in August. The strangest feeling was driving on 240 getting off on Nonconnah pkwy and having this overwhelming feeling that we were going home. We had driven that way for 10 years and never from the opposite perspective. Really tough. We stayed with the Fish which live .10 miles from our last house. As we passed "our" house, it just seemed natural to pull right into the driveway. Wierd feeling to pass on by knowing that someone else was inside. I guess with time that feeling will pass. Lots of great memories in that place.

The kids were ecstatic to see each other! They played endlessly the whole time we were there. The adults also stayed up late every night just catching up. So great to have close friends that you know will be with you no matter where life takes you.

The first day we broke out the sprinkler and let them get good and wet. We also set up the new trampoline which was a big hit for all ages!! It was so good to see them all together again.



Sunday we got to go to GBC and see all our church friends and then we met the Marlars for lunch. Those beautiful girls have really grown! We went back to their house and spent the afternoon just playing. Alecia had a great idea to make kids in a bubble and they loved it. So great to see our extended family again!


Monday I took the kids to the spray park to meet on of Linlee's Kindergarten friends. They had so much fun together!!


Tuesday we packed a lunch and Angie and I took the kids to the new playground at Shelby farms. That place is great!!! It was sooo hot though and thus a little miserable but we had fun exploring and also making edible art with our picnic lunches.


We topped off our trip with a visit to YOLO's with the Fish and Marlars, followed by pictures in the square. Lots of people when we all get together!!



Angie and I snuck away after this to go shopping for a little while. We had such a great time and after that outing, I will never hear "Baby got back" and not smile! :)

We tried to squeeze in a visit with everyone but it was just impossible. If we missed you, we will try very hard to catch up with you next time!!!

And this is how we all felt once the trip was over. Happily exhausted on our way back "home"
