Labor Day Weekend



While everyone else went camping and out of town for Labor Day weekend, we decided it was the perfect time to head to Lagoon.  The crowds weren't bad and we had a fantastic time.  Nearly every time we go to Lagoon the kids beg to get the faces painted, but they usually see the kiosk at the end of the day and I'm not willing to pay money to basically go home and wash it all away.  This trip we headed straight for the face painting kiosk and the kids were super surprised when I told them they could get their faces done.  It was fun to watch the painting process, but it was especially great to see their wonder and joy when they looked in the mirror at the finished product.  Totally worth every over priced dollar we spent.



Once the faces were painted, the kids had definite plans about where to go next.  While Tim and Taylor went on the "big kid" rides, the little ones and I went on all of our favorites.









 

It was super hot so ice cream was a necessity!


By the end of the day the faces were looking a little tired and smudged, but it didn't diminish their joy one bit.  So many people stopped them to comment how cute they looked, they absolutely loved all of the reactions and attention.  Batman and Kitty forever!

Labor Day is kind of my favorite and we were all excited to go to the parade on Monday morning. Luke and Ruby loved it -  cousins, candy, room to run and play - sounds like perfection to me.

Luke was so excited to catch a football.

After the parade we usually head to the park where there are plenty of people and activities.  This year though we just found a shady spot on the parade route and ordered Fat Jacks pizza for lunch. After eating we headed to the movie which ended up being the perfect ending to the weekend.
