Labor Day Weekend




We had a great long weekend full of family fun. Here's the recap: We spent Friday at the shore with my good friend Shelley and her family. The big kids had fun boogie boarding and building a "boat" in the sand with their dads. Lila and "baby Emma" always have fun together. We used their outdoor shower (I don't think we could do the beach without access to one of those!) before we drove home and the girls both napped
Friday night we finally tried the "new" restaurant down the street that's only been open for a couple of years! Becca and Chris were happy to join us. And, because of the long naps, the girls were really good through a long but delicious meal.
Saturday we did housework and then had friends over for dinner. Melynie, Brad, and the girls came over. It was a beautiful night to sit outside. The five little girls enjoyed the fire and s'mores, but they got so sticky they needed to go in the hot tub afterwards. Fun!
Sunday we went to church and then used the last week of my Sears portrait membership to get a family portrait done. That's a post in itself. Then we went to Grammy and Gappy's house for the pool and dinner.
Monday was my dad's birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad! We spent the morning at the park with Melynie and the crew (what are we going to do when they move again?!). The kids had a great time on the playground and the adults watched and commented on all of the dogs that walked by going to the dog park. -A great place to shop for breeds! Then we went back to my parents' house for more swimming, dinner and birthday cake.
It was a great long weekend!

I never think Baileigh and Mckenna look that much alike...but in the hot tub photo I think they look really similar!
