Labor Day Weekend

We didn't have any big plans on Labor Day weekend this year, but we still managed to pack in a lot of activities!

Robert had a little work to do, so while he went into the office on Saturday morning, Claire and I went downtown to the Pearl Brewery Farmers Market. We hadn't been in several months, and wow - it has gotten popular! Claire loved watching all of the people (and their dogs), but I think her favorite part was eating a kolache and an almond croissant from the bakery stand. That might have been my favorite part, too. :) We also enjoyed walking down by the river and sampling some items from other stands. We left with some Fredericksburg peach preserves, seasoned feta cheese, and cupcakes.

Later that day we realized that our year long passes to Sea World were expiring on Sunday, and since we had a full schedule the next day we managed to squeeze in one last trip Saturday evening. We all like going to Sea World, but 2-3 hours is always plenty for us for each visit, so the timing worked out really well. We hit our usual spots, but this time Claire decided she wanted to feed the sea lions. We got a few trays of fish, and Claire laughed and got so excited about their reactions. She would point out the ones she wanted to feed while Robert threw the fish. It was precious!

On Sunday, we went to church and then over to the McCormick's to celebrate Paige's first birthday. We always have so much fun with their family! After a nap, we drove to Austin to run a couple of errands and to have dinner with Lindsay, her mom & the boys. It was so good to see her, even if it was a short visit, and Lindsay and I both loved seeing how much fun Claire and AJC had together. Her hair was a disaster after running around with him! First Pierce and now AJC - Claire loves chasing the boys and holding their hands. Should I be concerned? :)

Things slowed down on Monday, and we enjoyed family time and lunch with my cousin David. David started a new job in San Antonio the next day, and we are SO excited to have him and Penelope here in town with us!
