It has been difficult for us to say goodbye to our carefree summer, so we decided to fill Labor Day weekend as full as we could get it.
It started with a trip to Ames to watch the Iowa State Football Game. We are not huge Iowa State fans, but couldn't pass up free tickets, popcorn, and 70 degree football weather. Marie spent most of the time climbing the bleachers.
On Friday night we enjoyed a BBQ with some friends. Marie got to play with a 9 month old little girl. I think she really enjoyed being the "older" one. She made sure "the baby" knew where her toys were and played very nicely until Brooklyn decided to sit on Mom's lap - then Marie decided she better keep on an eye her.
Saturday was a beautiful day with a cool & crisp morning. We decided to take the bikes out again and stop at a park along the trail.
Marie was having a particularly "independent" morning, but she enjoyed the stop at the park.
As you can see, we have already started the battle of "No, you go down the slide, you can't climb up the slide." I don't think it helped that Mom got to climb up the slide...
Sunday was Mom & Dad's day...we were treated to babysitting by Grandpa, Grammy, & Aunt Liz plus a night in hotel alone! Almost too good to be true. We were kicked out of the house at 2:00 in the afternoon and we didn't see Marie until the next morning at 10:30. She and her gang came to the hotel pool for a quick swim before dinner.
Although we enjoyed taking our time through dinner, we REALLY missed our little Marie. After only a few hours we were ready to go see her. She is so much fun right now - we are always giggling at her newest tricks. We know she had a great time with her babysitting team.
Thanks again!
So now we are back at work, school, and daycare - ready for what this week will bring!
Welcome Fall!
