Labor Day Weekend

Whew! Labor Day really came around quickly this year... it seems like we were just finishing Memorial Weekend. We had a fabulous weekend of entertaining. It started on Thursday when Pam, Lizzie and Kate came to visit. Who knew that a four year old could enjoy golf!


Friday we enjoyed a couple of games of golf with the landlords after stocking up on supplies and making a couple of salads and things.


On Saturday, Terry and Janet brought the motorhome out and then headed for the Renaissance Festival with their friends, Dave and Melissa. Mike and I enjoyed the day on the lake - no pictures as the only fish were sheephead and bullhead- yuck! Later, we made shishkabobs for the crew and enjoyed campfire, rootbeer float (Deb, you would love these!) shots and bull... Great way to spend a day!

Sunday was a windy day but a memorable one. Before breakfast, Amariah caught her first fish... (as the look shows, not so sure she loved it)



But with encouragement from Grandpa, she even kissed it!



Bridget, Brian, Grace and Lilly came down for the day and Brian and Tammy came for breakfast, as did Chris and Sara. Omelets in a bag for everyone made it possible for all of us to eat together. (Thanks, Sue, for introducing us to this cooking method.)




Then it was time for Bridget's Brian to hit the water; showed us he could tube and waterski...




And teach his daughter to fish...
And even catch fish!
Lilly spent most of the day napping as 3-month olds will do. Like Amariah a couple of weeks ago, Lilly was out like a light as soon as the boat started moving. I love this picture of Bridget's family.
Grace even got to drive the boat with the help of "Grandpa Mike".




After they went home, Amariah entertained us or rather she let us play with her. This is the Pebbles look that was created with a dog treat...


On Labor Day, the wind was still blowing but it did not deter Freddie's family from a golf outing. After the crowds cleared we enjoyed the 4 hole course as well - the $15 set of clubs we bought is working out good - Dan and Sue, we are almost ready for you!
It was a long weekend for the "boys" so the hammock was strung between the trees and they took turns enjoying the shade.

Thanks to all who visited - it was a wonderful family weekend!
