Our Un-Labored Day

Sunday we were wondering why we celebrate Labor day so I turned to the ultimate source of knowledge....Wikipedia. Here what it said....

Labor Day is a United States federal holiday that takes place on the first Monday in September. The holiday began in 1882, originating from a desire by the Central Labor Union to create a day off for the "working man". It is still celebrated mainly as a day of rest and marks the symbolic end of summer for many. Labor Day became a federal holiday by Act of Congress in 1894.

Oh how I love Wikipedia. Did you know they have a sister site too called Wikihow. It tells you how to do things i.e. remove stains, install items, entertain children....

We had a great Labor day. We started off by going to the beach with our friends Gavin and Amy Jo ( and baby Ashley). I know it's crazy busy on Labor day but we got there early and only stayed for 2 hours, just enough to enjoy some beach games and good waves, not to mention the free parking hook-ups (Gavin is a lifeguard). Can I just say I love to swim any body of water will do. I believe that a vacation &/or fun requires bathingsuits. We then headed over to G&A's house and jumped in their pool cool off again and wash off the sand. After we were sufficiently prunish we headed to Adams house where we were staying to shower and run errands. We ended the day with a tasty dinner and yummy Brownies while watching Freaky Friday. The day could not have been better!
