Labor Day Weekend

Even though the kids had already been in school for a week - we still decided to "celebrate" the last official weekend of summer with a little fun.

Friday night we took in an Intimidators baseball game.  It was their last home stand of the season and we had free tickets to use.


After Adam's swimming lesson on Saturday we put our walking shoes on and headed to Carowinds for some fun.  I hadn't been to the park in over 10 years and the rest of the family had never been so it was an adventure.

We settled in to Camp Snoopy which was made up of rides for kids to enjoy with their parents.  I got Grace on the roller coaster (she was a tad nervous) but after the first time, she was really in to it.  David and Adam did some riding of their own before we walked around to check out some other rides and adventures including the Dinosaur Park.  It was really cool to see these replicas of various dinosaurs.  Unfortunately the whole section was in the sun so we moved through it pretty quick.

After the obligatory stop at the gift shop, we headed home.  Both kids were tired, in fact they fell asleep within 15 minutes of leaving the park.


Sunday after taking care of our chores we went to the pool for what is probably the last time of the year and then Monday we caught up on the things we didn't accomplish before preparing for the week ahead.  I'd say it was a pretty good end to summer (even though summer doesn't officially end until the 21st).
