Memorial Day Fun Redneck Beach Style

We really didn't have any real plans for Memorial Day this year except that Aunt Mandie and Uncle Baine were in town for a couple of days so we decided we would try to go to a new water park in an area close by. When we got there, it was pretty crowded so we took a scenic route back home and found this little "beach" on the bank of a creek literally on the side of the road and I was convinced to pull off on the side of the road and hike down this hill with two toddlers in tow to have a redneck Memorial Day outing....

 

 

Of course we had to get a redneck family pic to top it all off!!

 

 

Cade loved being in the water. We had a life jacket on him and the current in the river would carry him from one person to the next and he though that was so much fun!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dani had a blast and just kept expressing how awesome it was and how much fun she had!! She caught tadpoles the whole time and put them in little water pockets surrounded by sand.

 

 

 

 

 

I can't say the same for mommy and Brooks. Brooks hated the sand in his toes so we just sat back and enjoyed watching everyone else have fun. He eventually loosened up when daddy made him get in the water.

 

 

 

It was a memorable experience and I enjoyed the spontaneity of it...but I think it is safe to say it probably won't be a new Memorial Day tradition!!

 

Happy Memorial Day everyone!! We are grateful to all of the men and women on this day who gave their lives for our freedom!!
