Labor Day Weekend

Friday night we traveled up to see my parents. The kids were excited to see their grandma and grandpa.

Saturday was the hottest and most humid day of the year so we did indoor stuff. We went to Florence Mall and the kids rode a train that goes around the mall, the carousel, and a couple riding toys. Then the kids got ice cream. We had LaRosa for dinner and then Isaac and I went on a date to see Colombiana. We got a UDF shake afterwards.

Sunday we were suppose to get Simon's three year pictures, but that boy refused to let go of grandma, so we just headed home. At least I tried. We still have even got a good snap shot to enlarge for their room. I had lunch with my friend Jaimers. After three restaurants were closed due to the holiday we found an open one. It was smokey and not great great but time with her was awesome. Even though it was rainy and cool we decided to go to the WEBN fireworks. We parked and then walked to the river. It was a long walk. We took turns holding the kids and it did rain. We found a spot under a patio and were able to get out of the rain. The rain quit in time for the fireworks. It was a good show. Simon used his ear plugs and every time a green one went off he would say green. A little bit after they started both kids were very tired and asked to go home....we stayed. We all enjoyed the adventure! We got to see the firework waterfall from the bridge and that was really cool.

Monday we went to the zoo. It was a cool day, almost too windy. It was very nice. We rode the train and saw the bird show. The bird show was our favorite this time. The kids were really good and didn't act up even once.

We got White Castle chicken rings on the way home. Janna (who doesn't eat much) had four and we told her no to more. Simon had three. I would love to find these frozen in a box here. They are so good.

Now onto a cool and rainy week.
