Memorial Day Weekend

We spent this holiday weekend camping! It was a beautiful weekend, a little rain Friday night but that was it, the rest of the weekend was gorgeous. Andy and Bill, Gary and Erica and kids were all camping as well, it's always nice to have family there. Gordon and Lorlie came Saturday and spent the night but went home Sunday. Lorlie was pretty uncomfortable being 39 weeks pregnant and all. But she's a trooper!

Friday night, I got to hang out with the girls, Tom took Cooper in with him and they hung out together for the night, Tom was tired since he was up all day from work, so he and Cooper went to bed and Micayla and I hung out with the girls, we ended up at the bar where a band was playing. Whitetail Bluff usually has some entertainment on the holiday weekends, this night was Ruby Blonde, it's the owners son's band, they were pretty good, below is Kelly, the one with her arm in the air, she was helping sing one of the songs, she's had a few drinks! LOL 


It was great to get out for a while and enjoy a few drinks, I still felt guilty about drinking more than 2 but after talking to Steph, it was all OK. I only had about 5 or so and it was throughout the night.We had a great time and got into the camper about 1:30, Cooper woke up about 3:30 or so.

The next day, Cooper must have been hung over from my drinks. LOL just kidding, when I saw this picture I had to say that! We got him some sun glasses and tried them on with his Mickey Mouse outfit that our friend Michelle got him. It was a little chilly but we kept him covered up.


Saturday, Tom and I played in a bean bag tournament, it was fun. I won all but 3 games but didn't win anything, their were some good throwers. That night we had some visitors, Tom's Aunt Shari and Uncle Bob and about 10 minutes later, Tom and Linda stopped. We weren't expecting anyone but it was great to see them. Tom was napping, he had a few too many at the bean bag tourney. But finally woke up and joined us.

We got Cooper all ready for bed about 8:30 and he had a great night.

Sunday was a hot one! We all slept in till about 9:00. Lounged around until about 10:00, made breakfast then decided to get ready to hit the pool. We got Cooper all lathered up with sunblock and put on his swimming gear we were headed to the pool!


One our way up to the pool Cooper fell asleep so we let him sleep. Tom and I checked out the pool, it was chilly, I wasn't sure how much Cooper would like it but we thought what the heck we might as well try it. First Taylor got to feed Cooper. I brought a bottle just in case and I'm glad I did. 

We finally figured out this contraption of a life jacket. Thank God I had Erica there because if I had to do this myself I don't know that we would have made it in the pool. It looks like it's chocking him but it wasn't, it was actually comfy for him, I think. At least I knew he was safe just in case!

And here we are, Micayla took this with her phone. You can hardly see Cooper's face but it's under the hat! He was chewing hard on that binky and there was no way he was giving that up. LOL Look at how tight he was squeezing his hands/fingers. He wasn't sure what was going on but he wasn't crying, so I take it he was enjoying it once that initial chill went away. We'll keep at it!

And Monday we got home and Cooper slept for a good 2 hours! He was pooped from camping!
