We spent Memorial Day in Paris. It was a great weekend. It did rain off and on, but it always quit long enough for us to go outside and play for awhile. We made it to the beach on Saturday just for a little while. Lexie was playing in the water about knee deep and fell going under. The water was freezing she was so cold but wanted to go back and play. We had only been on the beach for about 5-7 minutes when a down pour started. We hopped on the 4-wheelers and took shelter at the Broadbents cabin. We waited about 10 minutes for it to stop, this whole time Lexie is freezing but still wanting to go play in the water. Yes, she is nuts.
JD and I made a ladder golf game, it is also called redneck golf. We had a great time with it. It was great because even the little kids could play. Lexie loved to chase the balls and pick them up for me. I didn't mind this at all, cause it is getting a little hard to bend over.
On Monday we took Lexie on a 4-wheeler ride to the reservoir. We again got rained on a little bit but kept going. Lexie loved throwing rocks in the water and was a little disappointed she couldn't get in the water. On the way back I thought I saw a rock chuck in the road. I sped up because we wanted Lexie to see it. We get about 7 feet away and realize it is not a rock chuck it is a freaking BADGER. It had run off the road about 5-7 feet and turned to face us with its claws in the air. Needless to say we didn't stay to show Lexie.

Sounds like a fun weekend. You'll have to explain your "redneck Golf" game. Sounds interesting and fun! Hope things are going great for you guys and hope you're feeling good.

Eww, I have never seen a badger before, that would freak me out. On our hike we saw a huge snake (at least huge to me). You will have to teach us redneck golf. I am surprised lexie wouldn't go down the big slide, she is so fearless. Sounds like a lot of fun, I am glad the rain didn't damper the weekend, I wondered about you when it was raining here.

I can't believe how much lexie is growing up. It just seems like she is too little to be swinging in a big girl swing already. WOW! they grow up way too fast. I hope you are feeling well and the new baby is doing good. Love ya!
