Labor Day weekend frolics

Great weekend. Took Gina to see some bands on Friday night. Yes we still like doing that. On Saturday I took everyone to the beach. The surf was down and the water was unseasonably chilly at about 59 degrees, and there was thick fog until about 1:30, but it was great fun. We built sand castles, some of the boys teamed up with random strangers to dig a big hole. The usual. Hit In and Out for dinner after and let's face it there's nothing better than In and Out after a day in the sand.

Sun Gina had to stay home from church with the bottom three (they had coughs, rules of etiquette prevent taking coughy kids to places of worship) but Seth and Chan and I went. I played in the service as part of my once-a-month guitar duties. Chan and Seth each got "promoted" to the next grade so that was kind of a big deal. Seth now goes to a different building, so hey watch out world here he comes, huh.

Yesterday (Monday) was Labor Day, so I did everything I could to avoid all labor. Loaded up the canoe and took the boys fishing over at Bonelli. That's a lot of fun. Met up with my buds Matt and Brian, so between the three of us we had too many fishing children to count. Everyone survived. Including the fish - Bonelli's not exactly the most active fishing hole in the world. We got blanked. Completely shut out. But still - a great time.
