Labor Day in the Mountains

Usually I don't know when these holidays come up because I am no longer teaching and doing calendar time and Adam never gets these days off.  Typically I find out about them because I go to the grocery store and it's packed with people who are usually working or in school (grumpy face).  This year Adam had Labor day off and several days that he would lose if  he didn't use them up.  We agreed not to go on any vacations this summer because of so many things but things were going well and the mountains were the perfect place to relax and let the boys run around. 
The weather was perfect...and the fog was a beautiful backdrop to pictures of my boys.

 We ate outside...and Zack loved being able to have "onange chips" (Doritos) because we were on "baycation".

 This is one of the only pictures I have of both boys looking and smiling...

 We built a fire and the kids watched Adam and I eat smores while they snacked on graham crackers, sat on fun benches and toasted a marshmallow for maybe 5 seconds...you know those moments as parents where you are super excited about giving your kids a special treat (smores) and they think the special treat is sitting on a stool you have never seen before?

 We threw Stella in the sandbox for a photo op and got her out before she ate any sand...success...one or both of the boys didn't run away...double success

 again...all the kids in one photo...priceless...especially because this is exactly what our camp fire looked like.
