Memorial Day weekend was a busy and hot one for us! It was in the 90's all weekend, not to mention the high humidity...yikes! already! I was able to spend all of Saturday with my great friend, Deanna, (from my Florence, SC days in 2000-01) in Columbia, SC. We spent our day sipping iced coffee, shopping, eating lunch and catching up. So fun! Lucky for us Matt was off all weekend and Memorial Day, so we spent Sunday morning playing outside in the water and that evening at Freedom Weekend Aloft. FWA is a festival at a large park in the community we live in, Simpsonville, and includes games, rides, bands, and lots of food and vendors. We also enjoyed a train ride, watching the dog frisbee competitions and the most exciting of all, the hot air balloons, which is what the festival is famous for! Matt thinks he counted up to 50 balloons. It was so amazing to watch and the boys were mesmerized! Then Monday we packed a picnic lunch to eat downtown after the boys played in the fountains for what seemed like hours. They had a blast! After lunch we enjoyed watching the USA Cycling Championships that took place right here in Greenville. They raced right through downtown a few times, so we lined up with the crowds and their cow bells to cheer them on. The weekend was full of fun, family memories and lots of walking and heat exposure for this pregnant gal...but, it was well worth it and enjoyed thoroughly especially when I looked at Matt's call schedule for June :)
