Kicking Off Labor Day Weekend

Batting around ideas for what to do for Labor Day weekend, we kept coming back to going to the beach as the best option.  What beach, though?  There are just so many good options within decent day trip range and I've missed enough trips everyone else went on that they all sounded good.

Then we realized, "Hey, if we pick a beach in Sheboygan, Jackson can join us!"   So we settled on Deland park because it also has a nice playground Tabby might like.

Saturday morning we drove down to Jack's place.  We grilled up brats and hot dogs for lunch.  Then we drove down to the beach.  Sure enough, Tabby liked the playground.  And the kite.  It was perfect kite flying weather.  We passed the kite around, but i think Ben seemed to like it most.  The water was cold.  Holy cow was it cold.  That didn't stop the kids from going in.  Sam spent enough time in to go numb.  Which is to say, not very long, but longer than the rest of us.

About 3:00 Jack had to go get ready for work.  He has been getting a lot hours, which is mostly good.  He's excited to start school Tuesday and only seemed a little nervous.  It was good to see him. 

We had a very nice, relaxing day.
