Labor Day Fun

This year our Labor day weekend was full of fun with a little bit of work.  Saturday after we got all of our usual weekend work done we headed to the pool for one last dip.  It was not crowded at all so that made it nicer for me since I have a hard time keeping track of kids when the pool is too crowded.  Liam had a blast going down the slide all by himself with a life jacket on.  He went over and over and over.  If they would have let him he would have jumped off the diving board too.  Emily and Jason had lots of fun too playing hide and seek in the pool with their friends and who knows what other games they played.  We all came home tired and a little sunburned too. 

Monday was the real fun though.  Actually we spent the morning cleaning Jason Jr’s room and moving his furniture around.  Then we headed to Orem to go mini-golfing.  It was lots of fun. 

This is probably the only time Liam actually tried to use his golf club to hit the ball.  The rest of the time he was seeing what other creative uses he could find for it Jason is serious about the game.

His Dad was so serious he had to try to cheat to do better…Mostly Liam ran, climbed, and jumped to his hearts content.  I thought this hole was really cool.  If you could get your ball into that little stream it would roll down by the cup thingy (can you tell I’m a big golfer?)

I was trying to get a picture with Jason and he was being sillyThen once he gave me a good smile I had joined him in being silly.  I love his smile!All done golfing and we were HUNGRY!

We all wanted to go to the BYU creamery for dinner, but it was so busy there the wait was longer than we had time for so we headed to SLAB pizza for dinner.  I meant to take pictures of the pizza, but we were all so hungry we just dug in.  My review of the pizza is that it is good, but the crust is too chewy for my liking (thank you messed up jaw for that one).  I’d like to try some of their more original topping combinations though. 

Our final bit of fun was a Beatles Tribute band concert.  We went to one last year that benefited the Red Cross so it was a lot smaller audience—I think I liked it a little better.  Right after we got to the Scera outdoor stage it started sprinkling—and we still had 45 minutes until the concert started.  Thankfully the rain stopped just in time for them to perform.waiting… Jason bought an official shirt while we waited. 

Em and I hunkered down attempting to stay dry.  By the time the Beatles took the stage Liam was tired and trying to go to sleep.  Daddy convinced him to go down by the stage and dance and that really perked him up.  I couldn’t pass up the photo op.

Dancing with DaddyHe wanted to see the stage so Daddy put him on his shoulders.  I decided to join in the dancing fun. 

Singing together.I finally went up and dragged the teenagers down to join us.  They were either too cool or too embarrassed to come on their own.  Emily was especially embarrassed of our shenanigans, but we made her join us anyway!

Finally we were all worn out so we enjoyed the rest of the concert from our blanket in the grass.  It was tons of fun.  I love when everyone is happy.

Did you fill your Labor day with fun or work?
