Labor Day traditions

This weekend we celebrated Labor Day with our annual traditions: girls weekend in Illinois, boys weekend camping. We had some hot weather, so the boys only camped one night. The second night they went and saw Planes. Chaille and I had a wonderful visit with the aunts and cousins. She was truly wonderful the entire weekend! 

Here are some pictures from our weekend:

Friday, we started our time in Illinois with lunch at mcallisters and then shopping for Carolina's baby shower. Chaille and Nate made instant friends.

 We bought Chaille this shirt because she tells us this all the time:

After shopping, we went back to the hotel to swim before supper:

Then we went for our Friday night tradition of dinner at Monicals pizza:

While we were there, I read a book to Chaille, and then Cindy read it to Brian:

By time we left it was late out and Chaille was looking at the stars.

It was a late night when I finally tucked her in with her new George:

Saturday we started with a buffet breakfast at the hotel. Chaille chose a breakfast of champions, cocoa krispies and chocolate milk:

Before shopping at Gordmans and grocery shopping, Cindy and Brian goofed at the hotel:

And then Chaille did too:

We did our shopping and went to the grocery before the shower and a taco dinner out at Sharlenes. 

Sunday morning we got showered and headed for our farewell brunch at Cracker Barrel:
