Labor Day weekend was a blast this year... definitely one of our best ever! We had a few plans with family and friends, but mostly we just hung out and had fun together. The beautiful weather didn't hurt either. And after the hottest August on record, we Houstonians deserved a little respite from the heat. Highs around 90? We'll take them!
We started our weekend off Friday night when some friends came over for dinner. My biggest contribution to the meal was this cheese platter. Easy and delicious!Weezie thought Jaime came over just to play with her. We had grilled flank steak and sausage, potato salad, and haricots verts for dinner. Gene stuffed sausage into a bun and decided to forgo a plate.
Heather and Joel were there. Kristin and I had matching shirts. Somehow Katy and Jaime got stuck on either side of this messy monkey at dinner time. All he wanted to eat was stinky cheese and green beans. Will checked out Katy's brownie pudding. Yum! On Saturday night, Gene made halibut lagareiro style. It was covered in garlic. Delicious!Will proclaimed it the best meal he had eaten, ever. On Sunday, we invited ourselves over to Nana and Pop's for dinner. The boys splashed in a baby pool.And Will opened a belated birthday gift from Aunt Jess and Uncle Mike. Super cool new pirate book!We munched on delicious Southern fried chicken. Yummy! The weather really was glorious so we went to two parks this weekend. One was new-to-us. It has a treehousewith a telescopeand a leaf ladder,a long track for running,lots of slides,and swings, of course. The boys were happy to be outside. We all were. We ate a snack. And then we had to rescue Will's snack bag from his little guy who stole it off the picnic table and had it halfway up a tree!We ate lunch out and had ice cream for special. And last night, we ended our wonderful weekend with another great meal -- grilled sea bass with corn on the cob and more haricots verts.
We ate outside and enjoyed every last minute of our long weekend together.
