Happy Memorial Day

Have you all been enjoying this absolutely lovely long weekend?!?!  I don't think I remember a Memorial Day weekend in which we have had more beautiful weather!  We have been bouncing around between parties, cook-outs and parades, loving every minute of it.  

My brother Kevan and his wife Lauren hosted our family and hers at their house yesterday for a barbecue so I snapped a few pics.  I made some homemade mini-corn dogs (recipe will be posed this week) and they had a huge spread of some delicious food.  Today, we went to our city's parade and watched my sister and nephews ride by on a float.  

Let's not forget what this holiday means and honor those in the service who give and have given their lives to protect this great country.  I leave you with some very fitting lyrics from one of my favorite Zac Brown songs... 

I thank God for my life

And for the stars and stripes

May freedom forever fly

Let it ring

Salute the ones who died

The ones that give their lives

So we dont have to sacrifice

All the things we love

Here's to 'Merica!
