Annual Labor Day Hike!

On Labor Day, we went on our Fourth Annual Labor Day St. Lawrence Heublein Tower Hike. Click here to see pictures from the last three years! Meme and Pepe were unable to join us because Pepe's was having problems with his back.

We gathered our camera, water and snacks and off we went! The weather was perfect and the kids did great--as usual! This year, for the first time, we found a few Geocaches, while we were on our adventure. It was a great day!







Hopefully next year, Meme, Pepe and Aunt Val will be able to join us again!!

Sunday Family Fun Days!

After Church on Sunday afternoons, we rush to Meme and Pepe's house where we enjoy a super yummmy Sunday lunch. After our Sunday lunch, we then usually pile into our Van and head out to do some Geocaching! It's super fun! We love to Geocache together as a family. We have found some super awesome parks and places to explore as we follow our geocaching clues! If you are interested in geocaching, click HERE to learn more and join us in our fun!!!

These photos are from our Sunday hike up Rattlesnake Mountain in Plainville/New Britain, CT. It was a great trail, with some great views! I don't know if I was relieved or a little disappointed, but we didn't see any Rattlesnakes!





What a great day of geocaching and hiking with family!! :)

Labor Day Weekend in Review.

I thought things would slow down and I'd have more time to blog when summer ended and school started. Oh I was wrong, so very wrong!! I've been busy with tons of different things! At least I'm not bored!!

Anyways, I know it's a little late, but I thought before another weekend begins I should blog about our long Labor Day Weekend! We were pretty happy to have a fairly quiet family weekend here at home.

On Friday, along with Meme & Pepe, we headed out to check out a new Sam's Club that opened not to far from us. We bought a few things and then headed home to bed.

Saturday morning the kids, Meme and I headed over to the Church for a Primary Activity. The kids had a lot of fun with their friends. They played scripture related games and enjoyed the company of their friends.

Then we headed home with hopes of getting a few things done in Christopher's bedroom. Did that happen? Nope. Instead we headed to Lake Compounce. (Sorry no pics!)

Sunday, we went to Church and had Sunday Dinner with Meme & Pepe as usual. Then we came back home to finally get some things done in Christopher's bedroom.

Monday we went on our Third Annual Labor Day St. Lawrence Heublein Tower Hike. (Click on the following links to see pics from the First and Second years of our hike.2007 2008 ) For the second year, Meme & Pepe joined us. We missed you Aunt Val & Johann!! The weather was gorgeous! It was perfect--warm with a little touch of fall! The kids did a great job hiking. Christopher got a little tired, but Anneli kept going and going! Her and Pepe even beat us to the car. Way to go!

Then we headed home to rip the carpet out of Christopher's bedroom and get the floor ready to install the hardwood floor this week. Horray!! We'll have photos of his new bedroom soon!!

That was pretty much our weekend. Now we are looking forward to this weekend..
