What a fun filled weekend Garrett and I had this past weekend. I just love Memorial Day weekend! Ours started off with a...STREAKER!!! Omg! Never thought I would actually be somewhere when someone went streaking! (Other than at Mizzou with Claire and Jenna!! but that doesn't count) Now I don't remember what inning it was, but it was either the end of one or the middle of one, because the teams were changing. (It would seem it was the 7th. Check out the link below) We were getting ready to sit down and the crowd starts cheering...wait, what?! And then we see it. The rather tall, stark naked man running from right field. It certainly was interesting!
Anyway, after some fun at the Cards game, which Garrett was not able to attend owing to the fact that the last rotation of 3rd year is nearly done! Keep on truckin' baby!! Only three weeks to go and its 4th year!!! He was able to get the full 3-day weekend! I think it was a very welcome relief as he hasn't had any time off since Christmas. That is a long time to go without missing any days or having any time to take off. No worries though because he'll get three weeks here shortly and then hit the ground running. We get to start talking about possible residencies in future posts. (But those will have to wait!)
We left for the cabin Friday night and made it just in time for dinner! We had a fish fry, along with some deer and frogs. And some Chicken of the Woods mushrooms. Let me tell you, those were delicious!! Saturday we played in the creek and got into a seriously huge moss fight. What is it about my husband and his family getting into big fights?! Mind you, they are never dangerous fights, but seriously Christmas/Thanksgiving nerf gun/arrow fight and now the epic moss fight?! What's next? Food?!! Yes please!! These "fights" have been beyond entertaining. There is so much laughing that I'm surprised any of us actually hits another. I guess this is the life with boys. (Although, I do remember a beanie baby fight or two with my sisters! So.Much.Fun.) The moss was kind of strange too. It wasn't slimy, but more hairy. I'm sure Mr. G could have told us all about it. (Mr. G is a friend of the Huck family and knows everything about outdoor-sy things. He contributes just about every month, or whenever it comes out, to the Missouri Department of Conservation magazine.) The rest of the weekend was full of homemade Pear wine, circa 2011, which was delicious! There were also go-cart rides, naps, and snapping turtles.
Then on Sunday night and Monday, we played with my family in the Lou and KK painted my nails! She has been having way to much fun on Pinterest with nails. She's getting pretty good. She painted all my nails red except for the two ring fingers and on those she painted little American Flag. The look pretty cool!!!
Last night as we were recovering, and still not cleaning up, I gave Achilles the end of the peanut butter jar and he went to town. At one point, he was just laying there licking. Like too lazy to even pick up his head, but still wanting to get the peanut butter. It was too funny!
I hope that on this Memorial Day everyone took an opportunity to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could enjoy all the things we love!
Remembering those heroes! May we forever know the freedom that they so willingly gave every thing for.
Happy Memorial Day!
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love!!
