Labor Day Weekend

Robert and I had plans to attend a wedding for some Dallas friends over Labor Day weekend.  Rather than having Mom and Dad come to SA, we made the trek to Vernon to spend some time at their house and let the kids have some fun with them while we made a quick trip to Dallas for the weekend.  Robert got in lots of driving during the trip - we drove to Vernon on Thursday, he made a day trip to Fort Worth on Friday for a meeting, we drove to Dallas on Saturday morning, came back on Sunday, then came home on Monday.  Whew!

We started out the weekend right with some waffles.  Claire loves to help in the kitchen.

Next on the agenda was some fun in the pool.  It took me awhile to convince Claire to wear her hat, but then she started really hamming it up.  

She hasn't spent a lot of time in the water and was a little hesitant to get in, but the hesitation wore off pretty quickly.

Will loves the water and didn't need any time to feel comfortable.

Claire's favorite part of the day was playing with the hose - and with Granddaddy.

Robert and I had so much fun watching our friends Allyson and Chris get married and catching up with lots of old friends - and really live it up by going out to post-wedding cocktails with Marc & Maria and Chad & Heather.  ;) I can't remember the last time I was up that late that didn't involve a non-sleeping child.  It was heavenly to sleep in the next morning at the hotel knowing that the kids were having fun in good hands.
