Labor Day Weekend 2013

We really wanted to try to go camping with Jon & Ashley, Chelsea & Dustin, Holly & Nate and Ashley & Keith this year. 

We were able to get most of us there.  We decided to camp out at Johnny's farm as most places were full because it was labor day weekend and we didn't plan enough in advance. 

Wild Water West

Melanie VanGelder and I decided to pack the kids up and head to Sioux Falls to spend the day at Wild Water West Waterpark.  It was a hot day, but the wind was a bit chilly.   Katrin, Cooper and Brooke had a blast.   I think Cooper and I went up and down the big slide over 15 times.  I wish I would have had a waterproof fitbit to see how many flights of stairs I did that day.

Brad's 30th Birthday

You only turn 30 once in your life.   Unless you are a women.  Then you just keep having your 29th birthday over and over again.  You start having anniversaries of your 29th birthday. 

We invited a bunch of our friends to come to our house for the weekend.  We got on a bus, went over to Okoboji, had drinks and appetizers at the Ritz, then loaded the pontoon at Oak Hill Rentals. 

We finished off the night by heading to the Alley in Sibley and then back to our house.

Thanks to everyone for coming!
