LABOR DAY WEEKEND

I realized this was the first Labor Day in my short life that I did not strenuously work

all - day - long. It was a great break!! We took a quick trip to San Diego to spend time with Matt's sister, her husband, and new baby! It also happened to be her birthday weekend so we kept it a secret and had a blast with the SUPRISE!!!

This is in the parking lot of their apartment. Grandpa is texting Mitch to tell him we were there. Mitch did a great job keeping it a secret for weeks and killing time while some of us were caught in traffic! Sonnie was very suprised to see us all :) It made for a pretty sweet trip!

Yay! We finally got to meet baby Cora. Ya, she was suprised to see so many strange faces when she woke up! It didn't take her very long to warm up though. She is a cutie:)

I really enjoyed the ocean this trip! It was so peaceful and relaxing! I really think I could become a beach bum . . . however, I am feeling like I am at the beached whale stage right now so I will hold off for a while still. The kids loved playing in the water. We could have stayed there for a few more days and they wouldn't have minded!

On Labor Day we went to the Padres vs. Giants game. This picture sums up the experience. Matt was so excited to take them and none of them shared his enthusiasm. Kase slept. Trey bounced off every chair - couldn't sit still. Kael couldn't see and didn't share that info with me until half way through the game. Matti just enjoyed playing with Cora! I, however, was entertained by the fans in front of us. Good Game! Giants won :)

We had to hurry and catch our flight after the game. Then of course it was delayed. I snapped this pic of the sunset after we took off.

We had a great time with family and made lots of memories!! Thanks Sonnie, Mitch, and Cora for being such gracious hosts!!! We love you!
