Labor Day



 We had so much fun on Labor Day this year. After a super busy trip down to Arlington for a couple of days I made it back Sunday night just in time for us to enjoy a day off with friends. We went to this small town called Wimberley to a place called Blue Hole. That is something that we have really loved about Austin. There is so much to do outside, so much nature, and our favorite, so many swimming holes. This turned out to be perfect with a shallow end to play and throw rocks in, a small rope swing that Carson went on and a big rope swing to entertain the adults. About 5 or 6 families from our ward went and we stayed all day long. It was so fun to spend time with new friends and have Aaron all day!

We ate so much food:

Sweet Camilla even took a nap in the stroller, she was such a trooper:

So funny story. The big rope swing had this big platform that you could run and jump and catch the swing from. So Aaron totally ran and got it on his first try, I tried like 10 times and missed every time, and it was fun to watch. Carson especially loved watching Daddy and Mommy swing. Well one time after Aaron ran and caught the rope I looked over just in time to see him run after him and jump after the rope off the platform! I nearly had a heart attack but he was just happy as can be when he came up out of the water (he had on his life jacket). After that he was hooked and did it every time that Aaron jumped off. Such a fun day! We were all exhausted by the time we made it home.
