Happy Labor Day

After a long week of call, Rob had this holiday 3 day weekend off so we took advantaged and played (and rested too!)

Saturday we washed both the cars inside and out. Everyone had a good time and we've finally got enough for everyone to have a job all the time. Then we went to play putt-putt. A couple weeks ago I took the kids to play and Robert made a hole in 1 on the 18th and got a free game that was burning a whole in his pocket. He didn't get a hole in 1 on the 18th but he did make 2 of them on other holes. He's burning up the course. Our neighbor, Mr. Lynch, works at the pro shop there so we had to stop in and tell him. I also made a hole in 1 so I had to buy a round just like they do in real golf (except we buy rounds of ice cream!) After that we went to the Peter Wentz Farm. It's is 1/2 mile away from our house and is where General George Washington planned two battles after commandeering it. I tried to get Robert excited as we've been to Washington D.C. and Mt. Vernon but the answer to my "We're going to see where George was!" is "How boring can that be!" I'd better add that to my list of Robert Angusisms!

Sunday we got up and went to the members stroll at the zoo. You get in an hour early on special days. We were the first through the gate and had the best time seeing a ton of animals out eating and playing before it got hot and too busy. The monkeys were let out to find their food they placed around, the hippos slowly waddled from eating to the water, not to mention riding the swan boats and horses and all. It was one of the best times ever at the zoo. Then we went to Costco. (Can't miss a weekend there!)

Today we went to King of Prussia Mall. They had really cool frog habitats that the kids each got. Robert has been asking for a fish tank for over a year now but we keep telling him no since we'll be moving soon. This is cool though and they only eat twice a week and is mover friendly so he was super excited. They both have them in their rooms and we've been working on names.

Tomorrow, first day of school! The kids are excited and ready to go. We got to meet the teachers last week and find their desks so they're ready to hit the books. Here's hoping for a good year!
