down-home, all-american weekend fun

With 85 degree temps this past weekend, it was obvious that summer is here to stay!
We kicked off the 3 day weekend downtown at Speed Street.
We walked around, got loads of freebies and hung out with friends.

It's actually an entire bottle of champagne mixed with red food coloring.
I'm a sneaky one... and cheap!

Clay Walker put on an awesome free concert! Cara and Adam were so much fun to hang with! Clay Walker sang "She Won't Be Lonely Long" to this girl who recently had twins and who's husband is serving in Afghanistan right now. It was so touching... Craig and Brandy, who live in Boston and work for the same company we do, were working at Speed Street on their Lunchables tour -- even though it was brief, so glad we got to see them!! Saturday afternoon we grabbed lunch with some friends on the lake. Check out all of the American flags! Later that night we headed to a BBQ at our friends house.
All of the boys played cornhole and ladder, while the girls chilled together.
Sometimes Bryan and I feel a little disconnected from our friends because we're not home consistantly, so it was really nice catching up and spending time with everyone! On Monday we decided to head over to our newest favorite spot at Mountain Island Lake to picnic and play in the water.
Cali's one happy girl when she's there! Swimming to mama On our way home we stopped off at a local store and bought some fresh corn from their farm. What a great weekend filled with down-home, All-American fun and friends!
