The unofficial end of summer

We headed up to the cabin for the Labor Day weekend. We made it a short trip to try to avoid some of the traffic, and succeeded. We went over to Grandma Veldman's Friday evening and had dinner over there. We then packed up and headed out. We got up to the cabin around10 pm or so. Ava slept most of the way once Grandma stopped talking to her and playing with her (Grandma was going through withdraw from not seeing her for 2 weeks). :)

We spent Saturday and Sunday relaxing at the cabin...play cards, going for walks, and playing toys. The boys took the docks out on Sunday and then we went for our last boat ride of the season. It's crazy how quickly the summer went. Nate, Ava, and I left for home around 7:30 last night. Ava slept the whole way and there was no traffic...how nice!!!

Today the three of us went shopping to the mall and Babies R Us. We had to get a new car seat for Nate's truck. I weighed Ava on Friday and she weighed in at 20 lbs on Grandma and Grandpa V's scale. That means she's 2 lbs away from the max on her infant seat. So, our big girl has now graduated to the nice expensive car seats. :)

We hope that you all enjoyed your Labor Day weekend and got to spend some time with family and friends.

PS- A Big congrats to my sister and brother-in-law for selling their house. We are SOOOO excited for you!!!

Ava in her skinny jeans at the cabin (her shirt is a little skinny too, but not on purpose).

Loving those jeans! :)

This picture is SO not flattering of Ava's double chins. However, she is loving Grandpa's Gorilla Tough hat.

Our last boat ride of the season (don't worry, we are still at the dock here, I put her lifejacket on before we pulled away)

This is how Ava has spent most of her boat rides
