Memorial Weekend

The McCormicks had a fun filled family Memorial weekend that started off with a visit from Mimi and Papa Jones. We had a nice relaxing afternoon hanging out and trying on souvenirs from Uncle Michael's graduation from boot camp. That evening we headed out to Birkdale Village for dinner on the patio at Brixx followed by a nice walk around the shops with everyone. One of the local zoos just happened to have a booth set up for everyone to get their picture taken with a tiger cub and a joey. This was an opportunity Greyson and I couldn't pass up! He really enjoyed talking to and petting both of the sweet babies.

Sunday morning started off with our family portrait session. We were lucky enough to have Chris Goddard doing our pictures again and as always he did a phenomenal job! It isn't easy getting pics of my boys since they are moving and growing so fast! The rest of the afternoon was way too hot for anything except some pool fun. All of the family put on their sunglasses, hats and swim suits to enjoy our new pool on the deck.

Thanks to daddy's new promotion he now actually gets some holidays off, so we had the privilege of spending all day Monday as a family as well. Instead of doing a typical cook out, we decided to pull out the turkey that has been in our freezer for 6 months now and fry it! It was definitely a super yummy idea. It is always nice to have turkey a different time of the year than just at Thanksgiving. After turkey time we broke out the fire pit, marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate. That's right, we taught Greyson how to make smores! If the mess he made is any indication of how much he enjoyed it, then I think it is safe to say we will have to make some more again sometime.
