The Carter Family: Memorial Day in Citrus County

We had a great, long, Memorial Day weekend in my hometown. In between thunderstorms that is! Well, we had fun even when it was raining. Which was a lot. It wasn't so great for the golfers, though. We did fit a lot in, including our usual trip to the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park, a puppet show at Car Car's school, a cookout at a neighbor's house, a cookout at my parents' house with lots of family, and lots of pool time (or as Harrison would call it, "the pool of water").

There were many animals at the park to see - a hippo, a bear, flamingos, manatees, etc. - but the most fascinating? A grasshopper!

Avery's an old pro at the big Fishbowl.

Did you see that fish jump??

Family picture!

The Carters and the Diffenderffers, pretending they are out on the boats behind them drinking many cold beverages.

I loved this, all five of our boys together looking out on the water.

We got to meet Baby Molly Diff for the first time! She slept the whole time, but I could still tell how sweet she is.

I am such a big girl now, walking around everywhere and talking! And I almost lost my shoe in the Homosassa River, just like my mommy did about 25 years ago.

SBs together, once again. How sweet it is.

Sometimes, the only way to eat blueberries is shirtless.

Harrison has always loved the pool, and thankfully Avery followed in his footsteps! She was obsessed with it, and we had to be really careful because she just wanted to walk/jump in all the time by herself. Daredevil!
