Memorial weekend was a busy one for the Horton family. On Saturday JC and Grandpa Dick started smoking ribs at about 8 am for an 11 am BBQ. It was very fun. Friends and family were there to enjoy ribs and beer butt chicken, in addition to other good food! I even got a wonderful birthday surprise...when Mom & Janell showed up, Jill, Madison & Brayden were with!! Nobody can ever keep a secret in our family, but they kept this one! After filling up on food a few of the kids, even the ones without swim suits, jumped in the VERY COLD pool for a little dip! We wrapped up about 4:00, so JC and I got on our suits to fulfill the promise we made to Emma...it was a chilly promise kept!
Some of our friends couldn't make it to the BBQ at 11, so they showed up at 5! We warmed up the meat and brought the food back out and had another BBQ!!! And of course the food was just as amazing the 2nd time around. The second shift finally left shortly after 10, so it was a very long day, but very fun! Sunday wasn't as busy of a day, but we spent part of it doctoring up our mosquito bites from the BBQ...they sure were biting!
Monday we spent at Saylorville Lake with some friends that are in business with us. Emma had so much fun! She has been getting into soccer a lot more lately, and there were three brothers at the picnic who are amazing athletes. The three of them kicked the ball around with Emma and she loved it. We were at the picnic until about 6:00, so Emma slept like a baby that night! Unfortunately JC and I spent three hours in the emergency room. Emma had wanted a piggy back ride, so as I was pulling her onto my back I lost my balance and fell. I ended up landing on my knee and got a really bad sprain. I spent a week with an immobilizer on my leg, and two days on crutches. It may have ended on a bad note, but all in all, we had a great holiday weekend!
