LABOR DAY!!!

Every year for labor day we pack up and head down to payson for the "onion days" celebration. growing up we always stayed at gg ruby's house, which conveniently when she passed marshall and sabrina bought and the tradition continues (not sure if that's lucky for them or not :)....) Sunday night we all walk down to the park for the grand band concert.... we weren't sure how this year was going to play out because they weather started to get really crummy... really fast....

uncle eric and ava

auntie meg (ok i'm not really an aunt but that's what they call me!)

sabrina and marshall have the cutest cookie cutter boys... here is callin....

jake and wylie...

i got wrangled in to taking elle and caden to the carnival at first everything was fine and dandy...

and then it started pouring...i grabbed caden and threw him on my back, threw our hoods on, had elle carry my flip flops so they wouldn't break and we hauled it through the park to find their dad and grandpa huttled under a jacket with my dad... mind you that their dad and grandpa are like 6'4 and over 300 pounds... i was soaked and we ran back up to alan and lori's house.

the annual guys golf game was cancelled labor day morning due to inclement and FREEZING weather... they played poker instead and uncle shawn won a gold manicure set... sucker..

ava LOVED uncle eric's hat...

Candy is a big deal at the parade... look at all the kids running to collect....

evan's mom told him he couldnt have any until ater lunch... he found some on the ground and ate it anyway...

this is the first year we have had to really bundle up to watch the parade... don't dad and jake look so excited.
it was bound to happen... the first rain at "onion days" in 100 years....
the parade continued.. and that guy running towards us just saved a bunch of money by switching to geico!!!
the end result....
even though it was raining and FREEZING cold... labor day was a blast... a little different without the rides, the football game and hanging out outside... but i love being with my family and getting to see the ones that i rarely get to.
