The Long Weekend

Labor Day weekend didn't turn out quite the way we'd planned. After a very fun Friday afternoon at Swiss Days, we headed up to the cabin, where we were planning to stay for the weekend. Except that one of the teenage boys of the other family that owns part of the cabin was already there... with fifteen of his friends. So after a three hour long drive up, I got to turn around and drive back home with a very disappointed little girl, who had been very excited to go to the cabin.

Good thing Dad had a surprise for her when she got home. (He'd downloaded some fun preschool math games to his phone, which were a definite hit.)



It was nice for all of us to sleep in at home, in our own beds. We bummed around on Saturday, except for an outing to IKEA for Hayley to go Smaland (which she loves) and for some dinner (because they were having their "Kids Eat Free" promo for the weekend).

Sunday we headed up to Kim and Mark's for a birthday celebration.



It got a little chilly and windy, so we borrowed some jackets.



And Jackson discovered the joy of the big yellow slide. He climbed up a few feet, and slid down. About 20 times.



A fun weekend, even if it didn't turn out the way we'd intended.
