Labor Day Tradition

In case you haven't caught on, every Labor Day, we get together with our friends, the Gieslers, who we know from when we lived in Monterey. And we love it! This year they came up to our neck of the woods and we had a blast. They actually came up the day Dave got home from his month long TDY (see previous post), so it felt like a party to welcome him home.

We started off by playing at our splash park. Then we of course had to watch a football game (curse football season) but Sunshine was brilliant and planned ahead. While the boys watched sports, us girls made a craft. And we made an awesome craft, though I have yet to finish mine. It's a wreath made with pages from a book. Here's a picture of the one Sunshine made.

The Gieslers only stayed for the weekend, so on Sunday we went to church and played games, and then Monday we went to Fairytale Town and the kids had fun playing on all the toys.

 
Dave had fun too.

 Now back to the kids.

After playing hard we had lunch and then to top it off as all things should be topped off, we went to Vampire Penguin. It is one of my favorite places now. It's so unique and delicious. It's a shaved ice dessert place but like none other you have ever tasted.

And then the fun ended and we all had to get back to reality. Can't wait until next year Gieslers!
