Labor Day Weekend

This weekend was certainly a welcome change from our normal routine!  On Saturday Dave had to work so the kids and I went to the pool after nap time to meet some of our friends and enjoy a fun afternoon splashing around.  We were surprised that another friend of Savannah and Jack's also showed up so the kids had a grand time playing.  We were going to stay until it closed, but unfortunately they heard thunder and closed the pool early. :(

Sunday afternoon we decided to visit Carowinds one last time before the end of the season.  Boy was it hot!  The kids didn't seem to mind and we enjoyed a final few hours there before heading home to attempt to grill out . . .only the rain came a bit too early so we had to postpone our cheeseburgers for Monday.

On Monday after a nice long family run, we all decided to pitch in and do 30 minutes of yard work.  We barely made a dent in our overgrown yard, but hey, you have to start somewhere.  Then we packed lunches and headed to the pool one last time for the season with Daddy!  The kids had a ton of fun playing, sliding down the slides and showing off their swimming skills.

We went home and finally were able to grill our cheeseburgers for dinner.  After dinner Preston wanted to treat the family to ice cream at Bruster's.  He paid with his own money and was so proud to buy us all ice-cream.  It was so sad coming home though because he realized he gave the man $6 for our $4.30 order and they kept the extra dollar. :(  His face was priceless though as he proudly paid for the treats!  I love that boy . . . ever so generous.
