Labor Day 2009

Some people might not get my family..but for some reason my brother-in-laws family is really an extension of my own family. I adore his parents and brother! So, over Labor Day I went out to Eastern, Ia with my parents and sister and her family. We had a blast! We went shopping---we got lost and drove in circles, and were one seat short, so i got carsick int he trunk of the van..yay me------we went to a few parties, and we got to go boating, which is my favorite pasttime that I do not get to do enough! I could boat all day! We went to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for a grill out on that Sunday.

Collin playing in the sand!

Some of the grilling/eating crew!! Delicious!

Dad and I.

Collin passed out on the boatride back to the van.

This is David and Joanies at 6 a.m. when Dad and I left to head back to Ames on Monday morning because I was supposed to work at 11 a.m.

It was a really nice drive back..there is just something about spending 3 hours in the car with your dad to make you feel loved! He rode out there with me too. I am a dad's girl 100% ((i love my momma too)) but there is just something about a girl and her dad!

******thoughts and prayers request--my sisters roommate of 3 years passed away suddenly over the weekend from a bloodclot in her lungs...her friends and family are having a hard time, so any thoughts and prayers are appreciated********************
