To celebrate the long Labor Day weekend, we loaded up the family car and made a road trip out to Kansas to see my grandmother, who celebrated her 93rd birthday just a few days before our arrival:
The kids love it there, as there's always lots of fun activities, like fishing at cousin Jack's pond...
and learning to drive the Green Weenie on the dusty country roads (even though you're only eight)....
and blowing lots and lots of bubbles....
and holding target practice on an unlucky Sprite can...
and keeping Grandpa cool in the Kansas heat...
and eating lots of nutritious foods...
In exchange for letting them have so much fun, the kids repaid us by letting us kiss and pinch their adorably chubby cheeks...
douse them with a few water balloons...
and use them as end tables when there was no other suitable place to set our beer...
And that about sums up our end-of-summer bash. How was your weekend??
