Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend was the last of the festivities that make up Memphis in May. Symphony in the park took place Saturday afternoon and ran until that evening with a big firework show as the finale...or so we have been told.

Dan, Hannah, and I planned on attending Symphony in the Park this year and were very excited about it. Last year, Dan and I attempted to take part in the festivities, but it started raining while we were driving there. This year we made it all the way down to the BP station at the entrance to the park. Dan ran inside to get cash from the ATM for parking, and by the time he walked outside, it looked like we were back in Florida in the middle of a hurricane. So, we called Brandy and David and invited ourselves to their house to hang out. Thankfully we had a cute baby, so Brandy couldn't turn us down!

Oddly enough it did not rain in Germantown (where David and Brandy live). So we were able to hang out outside all evening. It was a pretty fun time. David grilled some brauts and we just sat on their patio the rest of the evening having fun with good friends.

Hannah is so not interested in this picture!
Hannah: "Daddy, you have food in your beard! Can I have it?"
And Hannah crashes after a long day.

The reason Hannah thought this was a long day is that it started pretty early with us helping our friend Manda move. But Hannah did get a reward for being so awesome during the move. We made a pit stop at IHOP for some breakfast before the moving expedition...and there was a man making balloon animals. He made a monkey hanging onto a banana tree for our little monkey.
Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!
