Why do we celebrate "Labor Day" by doing absolutely nothing? Ironic I guess...
Well, this Labor Day weekend, we got out of the heat and went camping up on the rim. We left on Friday morning and came home Monday night. It was a much needed break from the every day stresses of home.
The kids have a ton of fun especially. In fact, Bella has asked to go camping every day since we got home. We are very familiar with the area where we camp since we have been going there for so many years. As long as it is not raining, the kids can safely wander and play for hours at a time. They found a home-made zip-line that somebody made and had a lot of fun playing on it. They also looked for bugs and played in the "fort". We had a lot of other kids there this time so they also had fun just sitting around and talking and laughing with each other. The most popular activity however was riding the quads...
Two 2-year olds pretending like they're riding the quads... KODAK MOMENT!
Eathan is getting brave on the quad. This time Todd was watching him ride and before he could stop him, Eathan headed for a big jump. He went over it and got some serious air. He did a "superman"over the quad while still holding the gas full-throttle. He miraculously landed the jump, but lost control and drove down into a raveen. Todd ran after him worried about what he would find at the bottom. He found Eathan standing at the bottom with his hands above his head saying "That was AWESOME!" Who taught him that?!
Chansey loves riding, but she is a little more reserved than Eathan. (Thank heavens!) She did get a little more brave this time and she figured out that she likes to go fast!
If you read my blog often, you know that I LOVE when Todd rides his dirtbike. Besides being good at it and having fun, I think he looks good on it. It is especially cute when he takes the little ones for a ride. Bella would hardly let Todd leave without crying and wanting to get on whatever he was riding. So, he took her (and all of the other little kids) on little slow rides right around camp. So NICE!
Besides riding, us adults mostly sat around a talked and ate all weekend. It is so relaxing... no laundry, no phone, no internet, no distractions! I love this kind of "labor"! ;)
