labor day

i love labor day- it's right when you feel like you need one last taste of summer and always seems to be a good day. today was no exception. matt was off school and katie made the trip up here for the long weekend so we made sure to enjoy their day off. we all slept in (even evan slept until 8) and then lounged for a little while before we headed over to my parents to drop evan off and pick colt up and the 4 of us headed to the lake.

it was my first time going to lake keowee marina- it was really nice and so close to town, i just had no idea. we decided to go kayaking. katie went last weekend in the canals down in hilton head and had a great time and wanted to go again with all of us in the lake. so we rented 2 double kayaks and headed out. we had a really good time but let's just say, katie and colt were much better than matt and me. i'm not sure it was just us or if it was possibly the kayak but, we had a hard time going straight. we kayaked to a little island and walked around the whole island and skipped rocks- that was really fun. then we headed back to have lunch at the marina.

now this is when things got interesting. we were enjoying our delicious appetizer of homemade blue cheese chips when all of the sudden we see a lady changing her at least 2 year old son's poopy diaper on a table behind us!!! what in the world?! everyone was talking about it, including the employees but it's like i heard one of the waiters say, what in the world do you say to her about that? it was so bizarre. i understand that the restaurant is outside and maybe their wasn't a changing table in the bathroom but goodness, walk back to car or change him on the bathroom floor- just don't use a restaurant table when there are a bunch of other people around too! some people...

after our delicious lunch we had to have some fro-yo so we headed into clemson and enjoyed some 3 spoons. after katie left matt, evan, and i all took and nap and then had breakfast for dinner, watched an episode of mickey mouse clubhouse, and played around a lot.  it was just a really enjoyable day and i am thankful that we got one more of those in before the marching band season takes over all of our lives!
