Labor Day

Over Labor Day weekend we decided to drive to Spokane to see the Petersen's. They were so nice to even say yes to us coming because they had been in there new house a total of like 2 weeks and so things were still crazy for them, but they are great hosts and we just had the best time. Ethan's birthday always falls on Labor day so we did a lot of birthday things. We watched movies, swam in their awesome pool, chased Antonio the peacock around, went mini golfing, and went out to dinner to the Great Wolf Lodge. It was so much fun.

The weekend we went there were fires all over Washington and Montana so there ended up being ash everywhere when we woke up Monday morning on our way back. Driving there, the sky looked smoky in places but not too bad all over. It just got really bad over the weekend and then into the next week. It was crazy.

 

Happy Birthday Ethan!!!

These two followed each other everywhere. It was so cute

So why isn't Kelsey in any pictures you ask? Well she, Ainsley, and Camryn were gone THE WHOLE WEEKEND!!! They just played everywhere. The barn, the loft, outside, the pool, you name it. Kelsey was in heaven. They also watched Descendants 1 and 2 while we were out to dinner so I can't really say who had a better weekend, Kelsey or Ethan

Two weeks later the Petersen's came to our house for the weekend to go to a Jim Gaffigan show. I love that they live close enough to do weekend trips like this. Again, it was a night of babysitting for us and we went to Din Ti Fung and had the best green beans I have ever had. After the show we sat in the parking lot and ate ice cream. I love so much that my older siblings treat me like an equal and despite the age difference I can have so much fun with them and their spouses. I love them all so much. I totally lucked out
