Labor Day Weekend

We have some college friends that we try to get together with a couple of times a year. We usually try to go camping together once a summer but this year a wedding ended up conflicting with the weekend we could both get together (yes, we had to plan our camping trip in Feb so we could reserve a camping spot that go so quickly, plus get time off from work, and to coordinate 2 busy families schedules. Apparently it takes more time to plan a camping trip then it does to plan a wedding. Not that we didn't enjoy the wedding!) Not to be discouraged from our failed attempt at camping, they invited us to spend Labor Day weekend at her brother's cabin just a few hours from us. We jumped at the chance because we do love spending time with these guys and the kids get along so well.

As soon as we arrived we jumped on the boat. A storm was supposed at arrive at supper time so we wanted to enjoy the sunshine while we could.

They have this crazy board that is supposed to teach kids how to waterski. Sadie gave it a try and was brave enough to stand up even after her failed attempt at skiing earlier this summer.

These girls could hang out for days and not tire of one another.


Lots of swimming...

 


And fishing...
It rained, a lot, and thundered and lightninged too. Good thing we all love playing games and eating because that's what we did the rest of the day. Oh, and we sat by the campfire and fished some too. It was a great way to enjoy the weekend before school started!
