Labor Day

We had an amazing Labor Day.  It was beautiful sunny weather and a great 'end' to summer.  We attended the Labor Day parade and came home with PLENTY of candy.  I commented on how the whole parade was different union workers (teachers, state, pipefitter, etc) and I never knew their were so many unions.  Then Matt reminded me it was a LABOR day parade and I felt silly.  All the unions had a rah rah meeting after the parade at a nearby park.  We met up with a family from church for the parade and they all had a good time.

We came home for lunch and soon Aunt Kathy and Aunt Mary arrived and we were off for our friends that live on Lake MI.  It was gorgeous.  Just the right amount of breeze and waves and warm water and sand.  The water was so clear and refreshing. We had snacks and drinks on the beach, we flew our kites, we played with the tubes and the boogie boards, and then went back up to the house for ribs and corn on the grill.  Such a yummy and fun evening.  The kids all shot the pellet gun at the target, too.  Always something fun to play with at their house!
