labor day weekend

Can I just start by saying we had the BEST Labor Day weekend! Back in July we talked about going somewhere for the long weekend and luckily Megan was on the ball and found us a great little house to rent in Westhampton - such a great idea!

After working out the logistics of everything we were ready to go on Friday. We had a few scares with train delays due to Hurricane Earl but we weren't going to let him ruin our weekend. Luckily it only stormed on Friday night and the rest of the weekend was beautiful. The house had a great back yard with a pool, hot tub and grill and that is where we spent most of our time.

There was nothing better than waking up and walking out back to the pool. Jason was up at the crack of dawn each morning testing out the hot tub, making sure the temperature was just right. My favorite part was hearing the pitter-patter of little feet running around each morning waiting for the rest of the house to wake up.

Our days consisted of lounging around the pool, one morning at the beach, checking out the quaint little town of Westhampton, rotating dinner with the guys and girls so we could each go out while the others stayed with the kids, music and ice cream on main street, and the boys favorite - grilling. You should have seen them all gathered around the grill making sure their steaks turned out just right.

But overall, our favorite part of the trip was definitely the company. We could have stayed in a hole and still had a great time with this group. We enjoyed many laughs and more than one prank was played during the weekend. Late nights were spent screaming while playing PIT, arguing over Catch Phrase, watching everyone's favorite YouTube videos and even a fully clothed cannon ball into the pool by Jason. Our friends have the best kids and we loved fighting over who got to hold baby Chloe, who got to sit in the hot tub with Ashton (without the Jets on) and who was pulling the kids in the radio flyer.

We were all sad to see the weekend come to an end and can't wait for more weekend getaways with the Porter's, Granum's and Walker's!!

I love what a sweet "auntie and uncle" you and Jason are to everyone's kids. I loved sitting by you guys in church because you made me feel like Sheldon was so cute and entertaining! You guys are so fun.

Looks like such a blast - what a perfect way to spend Labor Day!

Oh, and funny you left a comment on my blog because I was just thinking about you the other day! We need an LCAT reunion!
