Memorial Day weekend 2008

What a wonderful memorial day weekend we all had in Rome, Georgia. To let all of those wondering, Leanne is doing fine and Lucas didn't make an unscheduled visit, although he did keep Mommy up a few times. It isn't too much longer until his arrival. How time flies...

Enjoying an outdoor grilled meal....MMMM good.

Enjoying my cookie....
Feeding the many geese and ducks around the lake by Grandma's house.

Fishing with Dad...A couple of nibbles...
Helping Grandma water her plants.
I love to be helpful...future mower and gardener.
New bugs to play with...
Faster Grandpa, faster...
Looking in one of the many birdhouses at a lost blue egg.
Exploring the new surrounding in GA.
During the trip down there, in pj's but wide awake on one of the stops.

We went down to Rome, GA this year to spend the weekend with my folks. This was the first trip for Nicholas down this far south and he did relatively well on the trip there and back with the occasional screams and desire to be out of his seat, but so is the way things go when traveling with a 2 and 3 year old. Mom and Dad really enjoyed spending time with the grandsons and it gave me and Leanne some time to go out to a movie. Yeah!!!!! Zachary really took to Dad and Nicholas attached more to Mom. For anyone who knows my Dad, he has a treasure trove of toys and games which kept the boys entertained for many hours. We ran out of time before Dad could show all of his stuff. Sheesh. What the boys really enjoyed was the rides in the wagon, shooting the slingshot, and shooting Goliath with the nerf cannon, yes a cannon. Zachary got his first taste of fishing and wasn't overly excited since the fish weren't really biting, but there will be more opportunities for that. The weather was great and we got to spend a lot of time outside watching the vast assortment of birds that come to Mom's bird feeders. It was a really nice and relaxing visit and I do wish it could have been longer. Zachary was not happy at all that we had to leave, but so is life. Here are some pictures for everyone to enjoy.
