all fun, no labor

Our Labor Day holiday was definitely all about the enjoyment factor. I managed to sleep in a bit then went to a late Jazzercise class. Then I took McKayla and Chandler and 3 of my nephews (Matt, Ryan, and Jake) hiking. My dad also came along. We went to Cecret Lake which is a super easy hike (1 mile, 600 ft elevation gain) but it is a pretty lake.Ryan (Tonya's son), Chandler, Matt (Tonya's oldest), McKayla, and Jake (Jolyn's son)

The boys just had to make their way around the entire lake. At times, it's pretty tricky. Sometimes, they had to try 2 or 3 routes to find a way that was passable but since all 4 boys are part mountain goat, they managed to make it all the way!


Ryan, Jake, and Matt are kings of the hill.

Chandler, as always, is drawn to the water! (He's part mountain goat, part fish)

After the hike, we met up with my mom, Jolyn's family, and Tonya's family and had a picnic in Liberty Park. Our plan was to attend the Bees' baseball game (Triple A) but none of us double-checked the schedule and the game was held during the day not the evening. Oops!

We had a lot of fun anyway! Too bad that Kevin actually did have to labor (he flew to Long Beach and back and then on to San Antonio).
