Can I just say I have a love/hate relationship with long weekends. Of course I love having an extra day off, to play and sleep in, and do whatever I please. But it makes it that much harder to get back to real life after-wards. This Labor Day was a hoot. Dan had spent Friday and Saturday away from home playing with friends and family, so Monday was a relief to finally have him home to spend all day with me! We woke up early and headed down to the Onion Days Grand Parade. My sister Kelee was on one of the floats; she was dressed as a scarecrow and got to hand out fliers...lucky her :) We walked around the park, and I bought a $16 necklace that seriously is worth $1. I don't know what I was thinking. I also got a cute bracelet, and got a free scarf (that I will probably never wear because I can never pull off the whole scarf look, but still, it was free!) We spent the afternoon with Dan's family which consisted of eating yummy food, and having our annual Labor Day volleyball tournament. I made banana cream and french silk pies.
Dan, Brent, and Lorin got their monster trucks out for one last bash before winter. They took them off some sweet jumps up in west mtn, but both Brent and Dan ended up wrecking hard, so the fun was over pretty quickly.
And now, some pictures of the fun:

My fluting skills have improved greatly, if I do say so myself.
French Silk
Yuki did a lot of this

Fun! I did the same thing at onion days - bought things that were way over priced just because I was in the mood to buy something. I also thought the same thing about the cute scarves I saw - I couldn't pull that off. Awesome pies!
