Labor Day

So what do you do when your husband is working on Labor Day? You go to the beach with a friend whose husband is also working! Thanks, Heather, for the fabulous idea!
We had so much fun!

Shelley spent most of the time enjoying herself on this chair in the shade.
I'm so glad she isn't too mobile yet!
Jorgen loved playing in the sand!
Jorgen giving himself a facial - sand is such a great exfoliant!
Jorgen and his buddies: Ryan, Nicole, and Isaac
(aka Ronnie, Cole, and Aggie)
Shelley getting some beauty rest
sucking away at her thumb, of course!

Warrior Jorgen
with what I call feather dusters
Tickling Ryan

Even without naps, everyone had a great time and held up nicely for the car ride home
when Jorgen promptly fell asleep for a short cat nap
And a day in the sun just wouldn't be complete if I didn't get severely burnt! My family wouldn't expect anything less;) I always think I won't get burnt and then neglect to put on sunscreen everywhere and as a result get fried!

WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN!

hahaha sorry bren but i have to laugh a little ;-) you did always sunburn the first day we went anywhere warm. Im sorry though, it probably really hurts. did your face get burned or only your shoulders??

Man, that looks like it hurts. That's the worst, but worth it right? :) You're talking to the biggest sunbum in the world.

That looks super fun! Except the burn part! Wow, I didnt know how bad it was... happy peeling!

Ouch! Sorry about the working husband but I'm glad you still got out! The girls and I can relate. This was the first Labor Day our entire marriage that Rob actually had off!

i must admit you had all the elements - the beach - the ocean - kids having fun - sand on faces (& probably in ears and everywhere else) - sleeping babies in the shade (thumb optional) - and bren burned! the more things change - the more they stay the same! Love you!
