Labor Day Weekend

We spent Labor Day Weekend at the cottage. Friday was a pretty laid-back day. Before we made it over to the beach, Jake entertained me with some accessories. The day was a little overcast, but the water was comfortable. Here's Mimi and Megan taking a break from swimming:

At the Beach

The boys had some fishing time. This was right after they left the dock. When Jake gets bored with fishing, he prefers to drive the boat.

We had rain on Saturday, so we were a bit cooped up. Darin and I took the kids to play with the Tomich's that evening just to get them out of the house. On Sunday, we met the Cleavelands at the Walworth County Fair.

We started out in the kiddie area. This was the first ride we did together and it was pretty lame. I couldn't get that thing to spin at all.

The Tilt-A-Whirl was a crowd favorite. They went back for more on this one.

Megan, Lili and Pierce went on the big swings. Jake didn't really want to participate in that one. He rode trucks while they were on this ride.

They all wanted to ride the Haunted House ride.

When they came out of that ride, Jake said, "That wasn't scary at all".

I made them stop for a group photo. As much as it annoys them now, they'll thank me someday!

And then here's one of the 4 of us (Yes, I'm wearing Jake's Batman hat....I have a small head):

And finally, I got the whole group together before we left (after spending a small fortune):
