Non-Labor Day...

We went to the park on Labor Day and I noticed several large groups of people making lunch on a barbeque. I realized I wanted to be at a barbeque. Merril was out of town for Labor Day so I decided to load up the kids and head some place cool. We called the Hummels to see if they wanted to come and they did! We headed up into the mountains and started some charcoal and a fire for s'mores. The kids immediately started up some game where they had to camp overnight without any gear and Maxine was going to make them all sweaters out of pine needles. (Sounds itchy.)

Then the Hummels arrived and one of Jared's taillights had broken off and was hanging by the wires and scratching up the truck. So he pulled out a pocketknife to pry it loose and stuck it through his middle finger instead. Amy pulled out the first aid kit and wrapped up his finger but in the end they decided it was best to go to the hospital.

He received a tetanus shot and 10 stitches.

After the Hummels left to take Jared to the E.R., we made dinner and ate s'mores.

Juliet had the camera and snuck a picture of me eating a s'more without my knowledge. (I kind of don't like those pictures because I look and myself and start to think, "Do I stand like that all the time? Why is my arm like that? Does my face really look like that when I'm eating?" I guess I just prefer to pose for pictures.)

The kids got dirty and sticky and we had a fabulous time. I sat back and listened to the breeze blow through the pine trees.
