We Took a Labor Day Trip

We spent Labor Day weekend with Jordan's parents and his sister's family. We had a wonderful time catching up and playing.

Before we were able to have too much fun, Jordan's parents put us to work. Hooray for child labor! Mainly because it leaves me free to take pictures. Most of the kids climbed up on the roof to sweep up pine needles. Jordan and his dad and brother-in-law cut down some trees.

We went swimming. Only Oliver called in 'wimmin', which was all kinds of cute. The older boys certainly hadn't forgotten their swimming skills. Jonah even seemed to be doing better since swim lessons ended (perhaps he's been doing a lot dreaming about swimming?). Oliver, though, wasn't as excited about the pool as he was during swimming lessons. He like the water guns, though!

Playing tag. The blue blog near Jonah's hand is Skyler. I'm pretty sure he's it now.

My niece turned eleven over the weekend and my mother-in-law put together the cutest luau party. I looked up a "how to hula" video on You Tube, so following a yummy dinner, that was the entertainment. Mostly, we just enjoyed hanging out and enjoying each others' company. Especially these two.

They slept in the same room and were up until past 10:00 one night talking and telling jokes (much like these, I imagine)! We also played Wii. I was king of the ski jump, and try as they might, no one could beat me!

Okay, so Jonah's not actually ski jumping in this picture, but he couldn't beat me when he was!
