Great Labor Day/Fun Weekend!!

Brian trying to feed the squirrel at the park, it was amazing how close they would come to you. They are probably use to getting food though.

This weekend was such a great weekend. We had lots of fun things to do. Thursday, Brian and I were able to get away for a date, so nice. I love these times. We headed to get our fix of Cheddar's and Marshall's. It was a night well spent. We had a good time eating our favorites, talking, remembering a bright, young man who passed this last week, our prayers will always be with his family. We had a great time together, I always look forward to these times. Friday, we took the kids for lunch, then Izze was off to school. This is a special day, because daddy always picks Izze up from school in his car, and she thinks that is great. He usually has something special for her as well. I love to see this daddy, daughter relationship!! Friday night we rented Bolt for the kids, and we had a date night with them, pizza and a movie, what more could you ask for. The kids thought the movie was good, it kept their attention most of the time. Saturday, we got up early and went for a family breakfast. This is a favorite thing for us to do together. On the way back home, we saw a turtle in the street, so Brian turned around to grab it for the kids. They named him Seymour. He was a rather colorful turtle. I remember catching them as a kid at grandma's house. We would write our names on their shell and then send them on their way. Brian and the kids decided they would take him down to our neighborhood pond and let him go there. The kids really didn't want him to go, but we explained he needed to be with his family of turtles that lived in the pond. It was really cute.
Labor day was spent with friends and fun. We met some friends at the park for lunch and Frisbee. The kids enjoyed playing and picking up sticks, as well as taking their try at Frisbee. We had a great time. After naps we wanted to get in one more swimming adventure before the pools closed down for the season. We headed to Pelican Bay, we had some friends meeting us there as well. When we got there, we saw more friends, so it turned out great. The kids got in one more swimming time, and we enjoyed our day off with friends. Couldn't have Labor day without a hamburger, so we headed to Johnnies afterward, then home to settle in for the night, and return to the routine of things the next day. To sum it up we had a great weekend and Labor Day. I really do enjoy these times. Hope your Labor Day and weekend were just as great!
