Memorial Weekend!

So Memorial weekend came and gone. It went by way too fast. I enjoy weekends me and the hubs have off together. Family time is the best time. Yet again, I did not get to spend my memorial weekend at the cabin in Bear Lake with all the Campbell family. That is what I love about my family. A couple times out of the year, the Campbell side gets together and have family Christmas parties, Easter egg hunts, BBQ at Grandma Reeder's house, and during the summer, spend Memorial weekend, 4th of July, and Labor day at the cabin. Can you see why I hate living so far away from my family? While my fam was boating and spending the weekend together, I tried to make the best out of the weekend that I could. I came down with a double ear infection last Thursday so for the most part of the weekend I was home in bed. Sunday came around and I felt a lot better then I had the couple days before so we decided to through on our suits and head to the beach, because unlike most people, we both had to work the next day. So we figured why waste a perfect day stuck inside? And I will use about any excuse I can to go to the beach. I am so glad we did because the water was so clear. I have never seen the water that clear before. We were watching sea turtles swim by and manta rays. Little fish would swim by our feet when we were in the water. And when your husband and toddler are happy and having a good time, you are having a good time. Oaklie LOVES the beach. She could spend the whole day out on the sand or in the water if I would let her. Last summer, it was hard taking her to the beach because she didn't like the feel of the sand and she was just too little. This year is so much better! She kept asking us to take her in the water and once we were in she would kick her feet and relax. Most of the day we spent making sand castles, letting the waves hit our feet and overall enjoying each others company. To end the day, we went home and made a fire in the backyard and roasted hot dogs and had smores. Even though I have been really sick, we made the best out of it and made a lot of memories. Yes, I hate living so far away from my friends and family. But if I am going to be stationed clear across the country, I am so glad it was here because you cannot beat these gorgeous white sand beaches and crystal blue waters. I am sure you will see a lot more posts of us at the beach this summer. I hope everyone at home had a fun and safe Memorial weekend.

Waiting for the fire to start.

She loves to swing.
