Happy Labor Day!

I don't know about the rest of you, but we did not have a very "laborious" long week-end. It was actually quite lovely. On Saturday, along with our friends Cory and Rachel and their little girl, we went to our favorite State Park again to have a picnic and spend the day. That place is a little boy's paradise! We caught a huge water snake, tons of toads and crayfish, Daddy caught three sunfish on his fly rod, and there are just so many places to explore and get all wet and dirty! Jesse loves to be outside, so he was really pleasant and took another long nap in the swing. I was able to get some good quality time in with Kaden looking for crayfish, bugs, and toads while he napped, so that was really nice.

Then on Sunday, we went to church. Jesse did great in the nursery, and actually slept most of the service. Kaden and I found a bunch of toads in the church lot as well, so he was totally pumped! That was fun. We had a really relaxing afternoon, and then when the boys woke up we went to Target and then got a bite to eat. Once again, Jesse was just so pleasant and content in his carseat while we shopped and ate!

And yesterday, after Kev's classes (so, I guess he labored a little!) we went for icecream and then to Core Creek to fish until the sun set. The boys and I spent most of our day outside yesterday. It was so warm and breezy. The humidity has just about gone now, so the weather is really really nice here. We went for a long walk in the morning, then we went next door to the park. While Kaden looked for bugs, I glanced over at Jesse on the blanket, and he had totally fallen asleep! I tell you - this kid loves to be outside. He's so content and happy out there. Anyway, it was just a really great weekend all around. Restful, lots of time spent with family and friends, and lots of time spent being outside enjoying God's creation.
