Our fun-filled Labor Day weekend

Friday evening Shane and i went on a date! We have some friends that we take turns babysitting with-they watch our kids once a week and we watch their kids once a week. It is nice! Shane received a gift card for Outback Steakhouse so we went there. After dinner we drove on the scooter out to Chagrin Falls. It is a cute little quaint shopping area that has some falls. It took us about 30 minutes to get there. The drive was beautiful. We drove through beautiful green, hilly, tree-filled country. Beautiful houses are set back in the trees with plenty of privacy! Oh my, it was gorgeous. I would love to live like that one day. Our drive back home was a bit chilly, but it was so much fun!
Saturday we went with a few of our air force buddies and went to the air show right on Lake Erie. We saw the airforce Thunderbirds and a few of the old time planes. It was so cool to watch! I had no idea of the capabilities of some of those planes. It was beautiful that day- about 75 degrees-and we didn't think to put on sunscreen and as a result we all got burned! Besides that, it was tons of fun! Some of the planes were soooo loud and it scared Tanner a few times. Gavin and Shane and his buddies just LOVED it! They were so excited to be there! It really gets their adrenaline going! After the air show we walked to a restaurant, Macchu Picchu. It is peruvian food and it was pretty good. One of our buddies served his mission down there and said this food is pretty authentic.
Then on Monday i ran in another 5K...it was fun! I ran it in 24 minutes and 52 seconds-12 seconds slower than my last run. Oh well. I have a lot of fun running so it doesn't matter. Shane and Gavin and Tanner were at three different locations during my run to cheer me on! I was a proud wife and momma. Shane and i both agreed later that he should have just ran with me because at the end of the run he was sweating from running and meet me at those different points to cheer me on!
Later that day we went to Headlands Beach with our good friends. There were a lot of people there. We went swimming in the water and really enjoyed diving into the waves. It is just like the ocean in California. Gavin and Avery filled there buckets with sand and dug up holes and buried each other. It was really cute. Tanner loved the water and loved putting his hands in the sand. A few times he attempted to eat the sand, but only succeeded one time. We came home, ate, put the boys to bed, and Shane and i stayed up and watched a movie.
We really had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend.
