Labor Day

Last Monday was Labor Day!  Usually, it's a depressing weekend.  Far too crowded and we have to worry about packing up the house for the end of the summer.  But we were going to go one more weekend, so we actually got to relax.  Amy and I went for a walk.  

Chilling on the porch.  

We went to the Dairy Bar for lunch.  You can't beat their burgers.  

I took Ariel and Emily to visit cousin Sandy.  Ariel was so excited to see the dogs.  

They danced around the house.  

We then packed up the car and headed home for the short week.  I'm not so sure about this cartoon style.  

Last Tuesday, the kids went back to school.  Eli was working on a timeline of his life.  I printed some pictures to add.  I ended up going through our wedding pictures from almost 20 years ago!  What a blast from the past.  I will post some soon.

My new smoker isn't doing the best at holding the set temperature.  Ugh.  

 

First Par!

Last Sunday, I went golfing with the Stevens next door.  The tee time was 6:45 am!  We went to Hamilton Trails like 15 minutes from our shore house.  It was a beautiful morning.  I actually wore a sweatshirt.  

That's me trying to figure out the golfing app to track my progress.  

I was a bit rusty the first few holes but I got it going ok.  I even had my first par hole!

I dropped my AI camera.  The groundskeeper found it.  This is the pic it made of it's experience!

The Stevens and I.

It was sunny all morning but when I got back around 11, the skies got dark.  We walked to the beach and it started raining!  We hid in a garage.  

Then it stopped pretty quickly.  

Me setting up on the beach.  

Small crowd this time.  

My girlie.  

Cece's parents came to hang.  

One last time at the beach.

The boys will miss Steven over the winter.  

It was pretty crowded.  

Emily and Ariel cuddles.  

I made chicken cutlets that night.  

The boys went to check out a local flood.  

Honey came to hang.  

Mah jong!

I went next door for a late night affogato and cookies.

 

Sexy Fish

Last Saturday, I went for a run early.  

I ran by Dave and Julia's so I hung out for a bit.  

Hey Dixie!

I then went home for breakfast.  Amy was there in comic form.  

We went to the pool.  

The weather was iffy and there were lots of bugs on the beach so we skipped it.  

Steven played with the boys.  

Ariel was running around with Emily and Cece.

It became a beautiful day.  

Fig tree next door.  

We get the figs that fall on our property!

I rested on the porch.  

The kids all hanging out at Wawa.  

Melissa and Mark came that night with the girls to play games.  

We had some yummy cookies.

That night, Aden had a double date to Sexy Fish in downtown Miami.  

They wouldn't let him in with the shorts he was wearing so he had to run and buy pants!
