Labor Day Fun

For Labor Day this year, we packed up and spent the long weekend up at the cabin. We were joined by the Bessendorfers for a wonderful weekend!

We spent the the weekend walking the beautiful trails, cooking over fires, enjoying nature, playing games and letting our kids run amok! The kids had fun exhausting themselves together. The weather was perfect and the company was wonderful. The weekend was relaxing and fun.

Eileen and Zoe were thick as thieves. Evie got VERY attached to Zoe and Jacob and Adena and spent the whole time talking about, or talking to or just calling their names and looking for them. She still keeps asking about Zoe and where she is.

The kids loved campfire cooking - which of course HAD to include s'mores. Mmmmm - yummy. Evie couldn't wait for her marshmallow to be cooked - she just helped herself to what she wanted at the table.

Anna was enthralled by an old hula-hoop she found. She spent most of the weekend playing with it, and has since been telling us over and over that we need to get her a hula-hoop of her own.


The kids were all exhausted when we got home, and we sent them to bed early to get ready for school the next day.

Last week was a bit crazy - besides the usual craziness, we had the sewage shut off in our neighborhood on Thursday. Becky was nice enough to let me crash there until I went to pick up the girls - at which point, we expected the water to be back on - they had said no more than 8 hours.... well after about 12 hours it was turned on.... How they expected a pregnant woman and 4 kids to go 12 hours with out using a bathroom - I don't know....
