Labor Day Weekend Fun

We had a great time Labor Day Weekend spending lots of time playing together and most importantly together with Daddy! The kids and I had been killing time on a rainy afternoon acting out the 3 Little Pigs. We gave Cody a performance when he got home from work on Friday.

Here's a video of our show:

Morgan and Pepper bowing after their performance.

Labor Day afternoon, Pepper's little friend, Avi, celebrated her 4th birthday with a water party in her backyard.

The kiddie pool area.

Morgan playing with Hazel. She just thinks he is the funniest person ever!

He adores her too. Look at that smile even when she's pinching a big chunk of his shoulder.

Avi's dad, Porter, holding the cake while everyone sings.

Avi's little brother, Hugo.

To the left is a homemade slip n slide and to the right a homemade water blanket/balloon thing.
So creative and the kids had a blast.

It was a tarp and some duct tape. This was the biggest hit of the party.

They really had fun when it started busting and more water came splashing out.

The dry adult area. It was like a mini ward party. So fun to hang out and catch up with everyone.

Poor Gabriel cut his foot so his daddy, Patrick, had to patch him up while we all cheered him on.

Saturday afternoon, we headed up to Lake Erie to hang out with our friends the Pavkovs who recently moved. We got to see their new home and then went to the beach to let the kids play in the water and sand.

It wasn't the brightest or warmest of days but that didn't seem to bother the kids one bit.

So nice to just sit and chat with friends while the kids entertain themselves.

We had to work hard to keep Hazel from eating sand or to stay on the blanket.
 She still managed to have a good time.

After the beach, we picked up dinner and headed back to play a little more and have baths before the hour drive home. It was so fun to see our friends again. They may be a bit further away but it is nice to know that we can still get together and see each other now and then.

I am excited to report that our seedless watermelon plant has finally started to produce. I took this picture a week ago so they are even bigger and darker green now.

I just hope they don't pull the fence over or break the plant. I'm excited.

All together we had a great weekend. Cody and I both got a chance to go running and help prepare ourselves for our upcoming race. It was nice to just hang out at home for most of the time and then spend some fun time with friends. Good times.
