Labor Day 2010

We had a busy, yet fun Labor Day weekend this year! Saturday we went to the Chapin Area Firefighter Appreciation Day. We went last year and Kaden really enjoyed it, so we decided to go again. They have firetrucks and an ambulance the kids can get on, and they have a bouncy house. They also have hot dogs and snow-cones and lots of other things that make it fun for kids. I was really glad we got to go again.

We had a great Labor Day as well. Fortunately, Patrick was off of work, so we were able to attend the Chapin Labor Day parade. Kaden had only been once before, and this was Noah's first time, so we were very excited! We got there early enough to park at the church and found a great spot to set up camp and watch the parade. Kaden did all right during the parade but had a major melt-down when he lost the balloon he was given by one of the politicians who came by. That pretty much ruined it for him! Noah, however, was a natural. He caught on very quickly that when a big truck or car comes by, 9 times out of 10 they are going to throw candy! Both boys ended up with large bags of candy, koozies, and other goodies. Afterward, we grabbed some chicken from our church's chicken sale and went home to rest!

After naptime we headed over to my mom's house where we grilled hamburgers and hotdogs for supper. Kimbo and B-bo were there, so we got to enjoy time with the whole family. The boys and I sat back and watched the rest of the family play a game of basketball. It was pretty entertaining :) I am so happy that Patrick had the day off (and didn't have any homework to do) so that we were able to do so much fun stuff. We hope you all had a great Labor Day as well!
