Labor Day Weekend

I truly cannot believe that Labor Day Weekend is here. Usually, Labor Day weekend means back to school, grill-outs, or camping. This year, none of those things apply to us.

We didn't make any huge plans for Labor Day weekend. Once upon a time, we were going to do a few things with John's parents, but with all the grandparent issues going on lately, that was a no-go. So, we made do with our own plans.

This weekend has been kind of a bummer because it has been really rainy and Emma is battling one heck of a cold. She has been spiking temps off and on again, and we have had her on a steady regimen on Tylenol and Ibuprofen. She's doing ok, but definitely not her usual, chipper self.

On Saturday, it was cloudy and kinda crummy out, so we spent the morning at home medicating Emma to help her feel a little better. In the afternoon, we headed to Brookings to go to the South Dakota Children's Museum. We had been talking about going for a long time, and we finally made the trip.

It was really fun! Emma had a blast and was just a busy little beaver the whole time. They had a water table room, fishing, outdoor activities, books, building stations, music, a large light-bright, and many, many more activities. It was a fun afternoon had by all.

After the Children's Museum, we headed to the Brookings Hospital to visit John's Grandma. Emma slept during most of our visit, which was kinda nice since it gave up the time to actually be able to sit and visit with Erma.

Finally, we went to the SDSU campus to eat some supper and just walk around and see all the changes that have occurred since we were students there. It was a really fun Saturday, and we were happy to make the trip to Brookings.

Today, it was sunny and nice enough to do some swimming. We had some Wild Water West tickets that expired tomorrow, so we thought today would be a great day to go. Emma wasn't feeling a 100%, but she did ok, and we had a nice time.

Once again though, it clouded up, got breezy, and cooled off once we were there a little while. I think that waterpark hates us. We ended our trip to the waterpark with some Mini-Golf which was kinda a disaster with a 2 year old, but we all had fun :)

Now, everyone is settling down for the evening. We are all kinda pooped from a busy evening. I can't believe summer is basically over. Tomorrow is September already!!!

Hope everyone had a great summer and Happy Labor Day! :)
