Labor Day Weekend

Can you believe it??!! Can you believe that summer is already "over"? Labor Day weekend - crazy! We took advantage of our three-day weekend with a trip to a local resort. We brought the camper, and later in the weekend Cary went home and picked up the boat and the dune buggy. It was a gorgeous weekend - one of the warmest we've had the entire summer - and we made sure to make the most of it.

Here, Cary helps Halle get up to speed on her bike, while Brendan pedals up ahead...

Chance and I stayed back and held down the fort...


We spent a lot of time at the playground...

(this is one of my new favorite pictures!)
And Brendan even got a little time to practice riding without training wheels!

We hit the beach -
and the lake...

Chance was a total maniac - he crawled everywhere in the sand and had a total blast after getting tired of being in the lake (which was chilly!). Here Halle and Brendan are making their way up out of the water, to their towels, while Chance decides he wants to go back in and crawls like a madman towards the lake... Chance is now a standing daredevil - he stands, spins, holds on with one hand, walks while holding onto the sides, drops down and stands back up, all the while loving every minute of it!

Next up - KINDERGARTEN! Brendan officially starts school tomorrow - the big yellow school bus is picking him up at our home. Cary and I plan to meet the bus at the school to help him get settled into his classroom. I'll update the site with pictures as soon as I can! :)
