Labor Day Fun

I was an avid journaler before Katy came along...not to blame her. Can you really, because she is so stinkin' cute and I get distracted by her? Any who I think my blog has become my journal outlet since I had her. And although I am not as good as I was before, it's at least a good way to put something down on paper. 

My friend Nicole is such a great organizer when it comes to my friends. In fact they all are good at coming up with fun activities so we have an excuse to get together. Well Nicole decided that it would be fun for us to go up to Swiss Days this year, and let me tell you it was an adventure! We started the day out by meeting at Ashley's. Ashley was not sick but she had lost her voice and had decided not to go. Sheena and I carpooled and we met Nicole there. If you can picture this we all piled in Nicole's Pathfinder and headed up. Kidos and all!

Well we ended up having a blast, despite having to maneuver on a shuttle to get there, and the crouds! We had a good system down because after every isle we would meet at the end, then decide who wanted to see what. And while we got to see what we wanted  someone stayed with the kids. 

I'm laughing now that Sheena and I got the HUGGEST scones and decided that we could each eat one on our own, because when we were both half way through there was plenty left to go around. And I forgot to take a picture on top of that. 

I had so much fun, I think we should plan on it again next year girls!

On Labor Day we decided that it would be a good time for a hike, so we headed up to Dog Lake in Milcreek Canyon. Roger and Joanne came and I even talked RaNae and Ken into coming. And despite the crowdedness we found a parking spot and headed up. Chuck and Gus even got to come...his favorite! There are two ways to go: short and steep or long and winding. We went with the long and winding. When we finally got up there for lunch, we decided to take the short and steep way down...which was much faster. And although RaNae recalls me saying that it was a "short easy hike" which it was not, we had a good time. I am going to note that I remember saying that it's "not that bad", okay RaNae!!!

Katy decided that she was having way too much fun up there for her own good!

Later that night my mom was gracious enough to have us  all over for the BEST dinner ever! We even got homemade ice-cream too! Of course I didn't get any pictures...I guess I was having too much fun. But I did want to say thanks Mom for a great time! You really know how to throw a party!
