Memorial Weekend, 2011
Posted by Rachel
Each year we go to my brother-in-laws to celebrate our niece and nephew’s birthday over Memorial Weekend. This year our nephew Dorian was just finishing up his first year of school. He was a big Kindergartener. Lydia is doing great. She doesn’t show any signs of after effects of being a preemie. Way to go both of you!
It was an interesting start to the party this year. Rob went to move the basketball hoop and as he did he found black snake curled up on his driveway. Luckily, one of his neighbors was willing to pick the snake up and take it back to the woods. No further signs of snakes were reported that day.
The rest of the weekend was uneventful, though my allergies were really bad. With being pregnant and not taking any medicine for allergies this year I was becoming miserable with being outside. Sneezing and blowing my nose for most of the day was exhausting. Finally, I had to ask Erin if she had any meds I could take. Luckily she did. It helped, but at times I was still miserable.
Looks like a fun time! And the snake looks larger close up than it really is. As Indiana Jones would say, “Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes!” Doesn’t look like anyone there was afraid of the snake!
