Labor Day Weekend.....it's LONG overdue, I know

So, it's October.....a whole month since Labor Day weekend, and I hang my head in shame for my procrastination! I have no excuse! But I do want to be sure to blog about this because it was such a wonderful weekend!

Christy and Ben decided to come out for the weekend, and in the process of planning everything, we decided to try to get the whole gang together. So I called up Aimee and Becca to see if that weekend was free, and Bec gave me a thumbs up, and Aimee had to play at a wedding, so she said she couldn't come. I was very sad.

So I picked up Ben and Christy at the airport on Saturday evening, and we went to Sat. night church service, then out to eat. It was so nice catching up with them, and we just had the nicest time. Sunday morning we slept in, and actually watched Becca sing at her chruch via the internet, which was very cool. Later that day Christy and I went shopping (of course!), and when we came home we had a VERY wonderful surprise!! Aimee and Shane!!! YAY! It was so great to have them come! Bec and Denis were the last to arrive, and we all just chatted until bedtime.


On Monday, the fun began!!! We watched the boys play bocce ball (which was quite ammusing), and then played a crazy game of baseball. We decided to play against spouses, so the teams were me, Shane, Christy, and Denis, and the other team was Bec, Ben, Aimee, and Mike. their team was totally stacked!!!!!! Christy and I should never be allowed to be on the same team EVER cuz we both get bored easy, and poor Shane had to pick up the slack for the two of us while Denis just ran around the outfield. Needless to say, we LOST! So we went inside to sing! All us girls sing together, so Mike and Denis recorded us, and it was so much fun!

The eight of us had the most wonderful weekend, and I am so grateful for the friendship that I have with all of those people!!! Here are some pics to enjoy!

That's probably not a good idea Becca, because he would most likely wreck both of you.

Always good to see pics of you guys - looks like you had a great time. I wish Becca would update her blog - graduation was last exciting thing in her life??
Anxious to see pictures of the wedding this past weekend - certainly was a beautiful weekend for a wedding. Hope all went well. Keep in touch
