Labor Day Catch-up!

Little behind lately! We've been busy and I've been unmotivated blog-wise. Sigh.

We spent a nice, busy, quick weekend up north for Labor Day, just Saturday to Monday this year. But it was nice to see all our family and relax a bit. We spent most of the day on Saturday trying to stay cool (very humid and warm) and catching up with Uncle Willis, Leah, Uncle Stevie, and Aunt Emily. The Uncles (and GraGra) cooked up a feast and Great-Grandma made us some homemade peach ice cream. It was all delicious and wonderful. And not a single picture was taken of it! Daddy did take some pictures in the afternoon while the kids forced him outside to play in the heat for a while. Thanks for taking one for the team, Daddy!




Still skeptical, as always.


How they have that much energy when it's that hot, I'll never know.


Apparently, G found GraGra's tape measure and went off to measure the corn. Not with her knee this time.


Hopefully it was measuring "Nearly Ripe."

Sunday morning we took one last dip in Dickiedoo's pool before he closed it up for the season. Gillian did really, really well in her life jacket. She paddled all over by herself and even jumped off the top of the ladder into the water with no one to catch her! She was quite proud! Again, no pictures though!

Sunday evening we went over to Grammy and Papa Frank's for dinner with the Keisters (minus Jessie Bean). The kids had fun running all over, playing in what leaves had already turned and fallen, and enjoying the wind kicked up by a (lovely) cold front!


Colin wants to have a "Leaf Picnic" in the worst way!


The Underbrella was again requested!



And Papa gives great airplane rides!



On Monday morning we took a quick visit to see the newest baby donkey. It was pouring though and since we were all huddled in the barn, we didn't get any pictures of him. Needless to say, he was QUITE adorable and funny!

Another fun weekend to "end" our summer!
