Labor Day Weekend...

We had a fun Labor Day weekend this year. Saturday morning we went to the Boise Balloon Festival. It was super early, but worth it to see all the hot air balloons inflate and lift off into the sky. There was a total of 40 balloons. This year there was a new balloon shaped like a rocket, it was definitely a kid favorite along with Mickey Mouse. After we went to DK Doughnuts for breakfast, yummy.

Awhile back Bryce bought a new kayak off Craigslist for a great deal. Now that he had the kayak he of course needed a few more items [kayak skirt, helmet, paddle, and life jacket]. There was a store downtown having their end of the Summer clearance sale where Bryce purchased his last two items. Bryce is now super excited to try out his new toy at the Boise River Whitewater Park.

Saturday night we went to Adrien, Oregon for a wedding reception. Bryce's cousin Vaughn got married. It was great seeing and chit chatting with Bryce's extended family.

Monday Jacqui and Greg Tingey invited our family to a Labor Day BBQ/Pool Party. There were lots of other families too. It was bring your own meat, plus a side dish or dessert to share with everyone. There was lots of yummy food. The kids had a blast playing in the water. Kyra jumped in with no fear at all, and jumped off the diving board 50+ times. Miles is a bit more reserved and stayed on the step and splashed around. Before leaving the kids had fun on the swing and teeter totter. It was fun catching up with friends, and playing in the sun.

Overall Labor Day weekend was great. We also LOVE having Bryce home one extra day during the work week. During most of these activities Gage was sleeping, therefore not a lot of photos with Gage.
