Pedro's birthday almost always falls on Labor Day weekend -- he was born on Labor Day Monday back in '79 -- so we celebrated with his family and a big ol' vat of pulled pork barbecue last night. Today we went to a lake and swam in our clothes.
We told the kids it was a "surprise adventure," so we didn't want to put on their swimsuits and give them a hint about what was going to happen. Also, we weren't 100% sure that swimming was allowed at this particular lake, but fortunately it turns out there's a small area designated for swimming that was only chest-deep on my 6-year old and it was very nice. Tomorrow, we're going to the local children's museum for their Labor Day event. "From ice cream and ice castles to solar jewelry and beach ball volleyball, join us for a Summer Fun finale! We will be wrapping up the season with the best of our summer games and activities." So, yeah...full weekend, packed with fun and games.
Tuesday: Back to the grind.
