A Belated Mother's day and other weekend events

This past weekend was another fun filled, great weekend.

Seems like a broken record with these great weekends, but I am not complaining.

The fun started on Friday night when Alissa and Nathan arrived.

John, Lis, Nathan, my mom, and I went to Elias for one of their world famous fish fries.

So worth the hour and a half wait.

After the fry, we went over to the Firecracker for a few beers and some great conversation.

Mallory joined us for a few.

On Saturday, Courtney, Paul, and the girls joined us.

Courtney, Tiz and I took in the city wide rummage and found many treasures.

We, (Mom, Mallory, Lissa, Courtney, Soli, Tiz, and I) went to Applebee's for a ladies lunch.

I was less than happy with my summer salad and not just because it was covered in blue cheese after I asked not to put any on the salad, but for other reasons, too.

Summer salad has now become a joke among all of us.

After lunch, which everyone seemed to enjoy except for me, we went to Kohl's to help Marge spend her Mother's Day money from us.

Lis was in charge of a purse, Courtney was in charge of capris, Mallory was in charge of underwear, and I took charge of walking shoes.

Marge was more than happy with all the choices and had a successful shopping trip.

We all came home and had brats for dinner followed by a fire and s'mores in our fire pit.

Tizita led us in some fun games around the fire.

All retired early for the night to get a good night's sleep before Nic's confirmation the next day.

 Before church we had some time to pose for a few photos.

 Fun with Uncle Cheddah and Aunty Lissy.

 Nic, the confirmand.

 Tizita set up a photo shoot and here are a few of the results.

Our family minus Alissa and Nathan who had already left for home.

After the yummy brunch at the Country Club, Paul, Courtney, Tiz, and I took a walk down to the park to explore the creek, Island, and river.  It was a beautiful day and a nice way to end our Sunday.

Soli took her nap with Gigi and John had a church meeting.

I just wanted to include these two photos, but forgot to put them above:

On Saturday, there was some hair stylin' going on.

Tiz and Soli love to style our hair.

The funny part was that both of them had to crawl on their clients to complete the style.

Quite an unusual practice for stylists, I would say.

So, there you have it, another memorable weekend for all of us.
