My..........Dad's Pinterest Project and Memorial Weekend

Memorial Weekend we headed North to enjoy the weekend with friends and family.  We started the trip driving through the worst thunderstorm ever.  We had just gotten on 121 when it started raining, by the time we reached Frisco, the water on the roads was so high that you could feel the tires working to drive and push through the water.  Everyone was driving with their hazard lights on at like 20 mph.  It was crazy.  Fortunately for us, we were driving faster than the storm, so we were able to get ahead of it before we had to drive through all the construction and narrow lanes of 75.  Just as we arrived at the Little's for a Fish Fry the bottom fell out again, but we didn't let that stop our fun.  We enjoyed some really good food and company as we celebrated Kristen's birthday.

The next day, we slept in, had breakfast and let Holden have his first driving lesson.  Granted he has been "driving" for some time now, ever since I let him "drive" my car from my grandparents house up to my aunt and uncle house (don't worry, out in the country, plus my grandparents and uncle live on the same driveway, just about 1/4 mile apart).  Anyway, Holden loved driving the jeep.  Thankfully Pop remember to charge it this time, so it saved us from having to take him on 1,000 gator rides, instead we only took a handful.

We also turned the driveway into a work of art.

 

 

And then later, I had the great idea to start a Pinterest project that I had been wanting to do.  And of course, I KNEW my dad would have everything I need to complete it.  LOL, of course, its helpful when your dad is a contractor!  Then again, its also helpful when your dad's work trailer that holds all of his tools is NOT located in Rowlett when you are in Denison.  Just saying....but we made it work.

 

Here are a few shots of the "in progress" and finished product.  Not bad for a last minute idea.

 

 

Dad used the left over wood and made the boys a sign with their names on it.
