Labor Day Weekend!

Our intital Labor Day plans that we had ended up getting cancelled. The girls, Chris and I had planned on going to a camp called Cross Timbers near TX, we were going to help out with the youth. The youth go there every year on Labor Day weekend for an event called Breakin Free. It is just our group and they have lots of activities for them to do. We were so looking forward to it. I knew the girls would have a blast swimming and I was looking foward to the rope course they had, but I guess God had a different plan in mind. About a week ago our youth pastor informed us that the trip had to be cancelled because of the church budget. We just didn't have enough money. The youth were extemely disappointed, in the past 9 years they have been going it has never been cancelled. Since this was cancelled Chris and I ended up having a completely free weekend with the girls. It was actually really nice. Saturday we spent time playing and hanging out, ran a few errands, grilled out some steaks for dinner and watching some SEC football. Monday we took the girls to the zoo, we got up and went first thing when it was still nice and cool outside. We stayed until around lunch time and left right when it was starting to get really busy. The girls had a fun, but our favorite exhibit the polar bear, was not there anymore. They had a sign up saying the polar bear had passed away in may due to kidney disease and they weren't sure if they would get another one. The girls loved the exhibit because they can sit and watch him swim underwater, but all the other favorites were still there. It was a nice long weekend with the girls. Now is the start of a busy week getting all of us ready to go on vacation. The girls packed for a trip to Nana and Papaw's and Chris and I off on a cruise.
