Outside All Weekend

We spent a lot of time outdoors this weekend.. and what a beautiful weekend it was. Friday we jumped in the car as soon as school was out and headed for the lake. We are itching to be in the sun and enjoy the water. Summer can't get here fast enough. Saturday we went out on the boat and took a forever long boat ride... nearly 3 hours and it was fabulous. Disclaimer.... most people have to pay to have this "David Hasselhoff" hairdo... not matt.. just a few hours in the wind and he comes out looking like this.

Dad was a great captain and at one point the rest of us were snoozing in the back as he cruised along.
Me and the madre.. let me tell you that people had to put on the sunglasses for this pale skin that hasn't seen the sun in quite a few months. Mom and I got a little more sun that we needed on the first day out, but oh well. We flew home from the lake to get together with some of the coaches and their families for a dinner at one of the coaches house. We had a great time hanging out and it not being at a football game.
Sunday after church we met up with mom and dad again and went to the Regions Charity Golf Tournament. Thanks to sister and dad we had some free passes and you can't pass up free.

One quick picture in front of this beautiful golf course at Ross Bridge.

And then the rain came. So much for that beautiful weekend right... anyways we had literally been here 5 minutes and long enough to take the 2 above pictures and it started pouring. We high tailed it over to the hotel and found a good spot under the cover to wait it out. Thankfully it was a quick shower and we were back out for some more "exciting" golf.

Now in the years past mom and dad have lucked up and found some awesome tent passes where you get in an a/c tent and free food. It's fabulous... we didn't have any today but the Lord is good and mom and dad ran into some friends that hooked us up. We chowed down on some yummy food and were able to sit here the rest of the tournament at the 18th hole and watch it.


This was the view from our little seating area. Now, I cannot tell you who won or anything else about this event. I just came for the social aspect. I did enjoy doing a lot of people watching and got to eat an ice cream drumstick, which is my fav!

Glad y'all got to go and have a good time. We should have gone, but we were worried about the weather and just didn't have enought time once we got out of church.
Hate that we missed the lake Sat too, but we were having more fun...registering for gifts!! :)

Looks like fun! You can't beat a good "snooze cruise" on Smith Lake - makes for some great tanning!
