Labor Day Fun

I love Labor Day weekend! It was so nice to have an extended weekend to be together as a family.

Jason had decided last Thursday night to paint our kitchen cabinets for me. I have commented the last three years that I would like them painted. Since he knew he would have all day on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, he decided to tackle this project. My job was to help keep the kids out of the kitchen and out of the backyard where the painting was taking place. I decided that on Labor Day I would take the kids to Naturals Falls State Park just over the state line in Oklahoma. I packed a picnic lunch and we headed out the door just before noon. We had a wonderful time. We sat on a blanket and enjoyed our picnic lunch. The kids then played on the playground for awhile. We did some hiking around Natural Falls. We felt very adventureous as our family is not a real outdoorsy (is that a word?) kind of family. The kids loved the falls!

Here we are, all hot and sweaty after hiking down to see the falls.

The kids are so great about posing for pictures for me!

We headed back home and decided that since today was the last day that the Family Aquatic Center in our town was open, that we should go to the pool. The kids had a fabulous time, especially because another family in our church, The Norberg's, were also at the pool. Jensen played with Emma, Judson played with Jackson Mark, and Jackson played with Jordan and several other friends. My kids are close in age to the Norberg kids and always have so much fun with them.

Sweet Brothers and Sisters!

After a fun afternoon at the pool, we said goodbye to Summer as the Family Aquatic Center closed it's doors until next May. We went home and Jackson grilled hot dogs for the family. We sat outside and ate and enjoyed the perfect end to a perfect day!

Enjoying time together as a family!!
