Long Weekend

This post is very long with lots of pictures - just a warning!:)
For Labor Day weekend this year we headed up to Nate and Natalie's to spend some time with them. It was a busy but fun weekend and we packed lots into it! Trae was a trooper since nap time structure was non-existent!

Saturday the guys stayed home to watch football while Natalie and I headed up to the outlet mall for some shopping. It was crazy busy but we still had a good time!

Sunday after church we hit the zoo and Culver's. Ali's favorite was the white tiger while Dakota didn't want to leave the alligator. Plus they had a short train ride, so Dakota was having a blast.

Lined up to see the Koi Pond




This is a common stance for Dakota in public places, he has a very low tolerance for noise!

Poor Portia was NOT happy when the tiger came right up to the window.

Monday we headed to the beach, a little worried about the weather but it turned out to be AWESOME! The water was freezing but the kiddos didn't seem to mind! After the beach we had gelato at a little cafe, which Paul and I had never had, and it was delicious!

Glad you guys had a good time! :)

I love Trae's face in your koi pond shot, so cute!

I can't believe you guys hadn't had gelato until this past weekend- you need to hang around with Dad a little more often, especially if he takes trips down to Lafayette :)

Miss you guys!
