Labor Day fun!

Labor Day, what to do on Labor Day? Well, we really couldn't decide. Picnic? Lake? Downtown Seattle? We had wanted to go camping, but it's hard to organize and to accomplish while having a 10 month old. We ended up deciding to do a day camping trip. My mom, dad, my sister, Dave, my cousin Michelle, her twins, her 3 year old, and Daphne all went. We went up in the early afternoon to Cascade Park (property owned by the church). It's only about 10 minutes from here, which was nice. We all arrived around 11:30 and got a nice fire started, it was a little chilly, and started cooking brunch. We had eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and OJ. It was yummy. We then played some games, read, relaxed, played on the playground, and just had a good ol' time. We let the fire burn down to coals and we assembled "hobo" dinners. It was hamburger, potatoes, onions, carrots, wrapped in cabbage and then foil. They turned out so good. It was just a perfect relaxing day. The weather was nice and by about 2 or 3, no one was there. We had the place to ourselves. It was nice to let the kids be able to roam free. Evie did really well. She actually took naps and was in a pretty good mood all day. I think we'll do it again next year.
