The rest of our weekend was filled with birthday parties. We went to a 1st birthday party Saturday afternoon, a skating party Sunday after church, and Grandaddy's party right after that. Sunday was a busy day!
Granny had Grandaddy a birthday party at her house for all of the family. Lisa made a delicious coconut cake, Jean Jean made homemade butterfinger ice cream, and we had a birthday cake. Four cakes in two days is too much! By Sunday night the boys had a sugar high from all of the cake, ice cream, and mt. dew!!
Although it wasn't Neal's birthday, he got a nice surprise! My Granny is a quilter. There's no telling how many 100's of quilts she has made or had a hand in making. She has given all the children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren quilts that she has made. (One day I'm going to do a post on all the one's she has made for me.) Well, there's some kind of tradition (not sure where it came from) that you get a quilt when you turn 21 years old. Five of six grandchildren have turned 21. She had 8 or 9 quilts for us to pick from. (We didn't get to pick from her entire collection!) When I picked mine out SEVERAL years ago, there was this purple quilt that Neal fell in love with. He begged me to pick it, but I just didn't think I would ever have anywhere to use the colors! Granny let Jenny go ahead and pick her quilt recently. When we went to Granny's house for the birthday party, she called Neal to the back part of the house and got out that purple quilt and told him it was his! He was thrilled....he said that it just made his day!
It is a beautiful quilt! It's going to be perfect hanging on the wall in his office!!! I had one of mine hanging in there, but we will replace it with this one. We didn't get to bring it home because she's got to sew a hanger on the back so we can hang it. Neal can't wait to get it home!
We spent our Labor Day weekend at Yogi on the Lake with friends. We were a group of 16 people in 4 campers. The weather was just perfect, and we couldn't have had a better time!!
Friday night we got settled in and all went out to eat. It was much easier to do that than cook since we were kinda late getting there. Yogi has wi-fi, so we all drug out the laptops and cell phones! 
The kids played with playdough...not sure what they were making!!
Judd loves listening to music on Neal's mp3 player. He dances to the tunes!
We had a nice little set-up with three tents and picnic tables. There was a breeze blowing most all of the time, too! 
Saturday morning everyone was up early ready to have fun. 
Becky and Reagan riding in the back of the truck. We all piled up in the back of the truck to go up to the front gate where all of the activities are.
The kids got to meet Yogi and BooBoo
My boys didn't want to meet them, but the rest of the kids did!
They did agree to get their picture made in front of the Yogi statue.

The water park
Saturday morning the water was very cool! The kids didn't care, they just wanted to play!! The water did warm up later in the day!
Judd was all about the water...he had a blast! The place is perfect for his age because you don't have to stay with them all the time. You can just let them go!!

Later Saturday, some of the kids went to the activity center for crafts while the others took naps. They have various activities going on all the time there.
Blaine painted a football helmet
Saturday was also Becky's birthday! We surprised her with a birthday cake after supper. We also had strawberry and butterfinger homemade ice cream.
After supper the girls hit up karaoke. Alisha and Hanna sang "Boondocks"
The men watched the LSU game while the others went to...
the movie at the outdoor theater. 
We had jackets and covered up with blankets!!! It is hard to believe since it has been so hot during the day! Saturday was a very fun day!!
