Labor Day Weekend 2011

This year we decided to visit Kory and Charisse for our long weekend. Half way through our 5 hour drive we realized that we forgot Maycee's blanket. This is when I learned Rule #1. At least it became Rule #1 after this trip.

DON'T FORGET MAYCEE'S BLANKET!!!

I didn't realize how attached she was to that thing until this trip. I felt like I had a newborn again. She didn't sleep all weekend. It was awful. Never again.

BUT on a happy note...we had a ton of fun with Kory and Charisse!

We drove into Logan at 11:00pm on Friday night.

We left our house at 4:15pm, ran a couple of errands, and we were on the interstate at 5:20, ready to cruise. Instead, we crawled on the interstate for an hour with the rest of the residents of Boise that had also decided to leave for the weekend.

Stupid Construction.

That's all I will say on the matter.

We stayed up chatting with Kory and Charisse for a bit and then headed off for bead.

On Saturday morning Stephen and Kory helped someone in their ward move. Kory and Charisse's long lost friends showed up and we all chatted for a while and then for the huge event for the day we arrived and the Logan Aquatic Center. The local pool.

I still cannot get over how much Maycee loves the water. She is in her element.

We didn't get any pictures of the swimming, but it was a lot of fun. I think Charisse got a little nervous when Kory used her work key to play 'diving for pennies'...he forgot his penny. Silver is a lot more difficult to see at the bottom of a pool than copper. Kory almost lost that key.

We tried out the slides and got a little rug burn. Those slides really needed to be put together a little more smoothly. It was very entertaining to watch as a huge man slid down one of the slides and pushed a wall of water that cascaded over a group of people congregating at the bottom.

Saturday night found me asleep at 9pm on the couch. Stephen was being introduced to his new TV addiction, Psych.

Sunday after church we went on a walk down a popular little walkway near a little stream. It was really pretty. We took some group pictures.

After our walk we went back to the house to play games. For the record, Stephen and I totally won. Phrase of the game said by Kory...Unusual Positions...don't ask.

Sunday night, again the Psych addiction, but this time it found Kory asleep on the couch at 9:30pm.

Monday Kory was so excited for the Wellsville Labor Day Parade. Apparently, Charisse is not a fan, but Kory felt that since he had visitors coming into town he could drag Charisse. We were at the end of the parade. Yeah, most of the "floats" threw their candy in the beginning. However, we still got some really good salt water taffy. I haven't had that stuff in forever!

As we got up at the finish of the parade, we realized it wasn't finished. We decided that we were. I overhead a man say as we passed, "This is the stupidest parade I have ever seen."

Apparently he didn't get any salt water taffy.

We got some cutie pictures of all of us at the parade!...By the way it was freezing!


After the parade we were super excited. We went to hit up the local infamous suit store.

Stephen really needs a suit.

THEY WERE CLOSED!

I was SO disappointed. I was excited to play dress up with Stephen. Ggrrrr. Until next time, I guess.

After our disappointment we went to a local sub shop and then headed for home.

Thanks Kory and Charisse for letting us crash your place for the weekend. We had fun!
