Labor Day = FUN day

Labor day..no big plans here. Just mainly to take a drive out to pick up a stroller we bought off of Craigslist and then maybe have a picnic and laze around the house.

We DID go on our drive out to pick up the stroller, but our day turned in to much more than we planned!

The people selling the stroller were SO NICE. The invited us to stay the morning and play on their AMAZING playground, while they took Jenna to fish from their pond as we visited and passed the morning hours. They have an AWESOME property--I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the whole thing! It was beautiful...the pond, the little dock, the barn (which we learned was only for entertainment purposes...parties, tv, etc.) the play area, their home, the acres and trees and garden...wow.

I know it sounds so strange of us, and really it WAS. But it was a FUN strange and we had a great time. :)

While we were chatting they brought up the location of a splash park, which we were SO excited about! When they realized we obviously had no swimsuits, the wife ran in and gathered up swimsuits for the boys and a change of clothes for Jenna, swim diapers, and beach towels and told us to go have fun and not worry about returning anything. :) SO, after loading up our stroller, our new swim attire, a box of fresh picked apples, and a Cozy Coupe that the kids fell TOTALLY in love with, we were ready to go.

Can you believe how NICE these people were? I am still so shocked. I REALLY HOPE that we will always be that kind of family...always willing to share and invite and give. Their generosity really touched me.

Just a shot of part of their little play area.

And we were off--off to the splash park to have TONS of fun! I am SO excited we finally found one here--and it was FREE, like the one in Rexburg. YEAH! Kaden was CRAZY, RUNNING all over the place. NO FEAR. Not one bit. It was quite funny to watch.
Spencer was really not too into it...just sit and watched...

Oh, and this was a funny sign I saw as we were leaving--the truck parked next to us had a sign that said "yes, this is my truck. No, I can't help move you"

HAHAHAHA!!!!

We picked up lunch on the way home and the kids went for a nap as soon as we got home. When they woke up we went for a long walk and visited some friends in our neighborhood. PERFECT weather. Perfect! I actually felt GUILTY for having such nice weather when I knew Gustav was making it's way through the Southern U.S.

We came home and had tasty barbecue leftovers...hit the sack...and then enjoyed the evening.

Couldn't ask for a better day...random as it was. :)
