Labor Day at Grandma's


Over Labor Day weekend, we had the pleasure of meeting some of the family at Jeff's folks' house.  As usual, it was a super fun, chaotic time!  Would you expect anything else from this crazy bunch??

We spent one beautiful morning at the park. I won't tell you where we went afterwards for lunch...

Grandma at the park with some of the grands.




Grandpa's pool was a big hit for all of the kids this year.  We spent many, many hours there.

Here's Phoebe, the daring one!  That girl had no time for her lifejacket.  All she wanted to do was swim on her own!



With all those people in the pool, a lifejacket was a must for Connor.  He's just as daring as Phoebe but less talented at swimming.  



These two blondies stuck close to Grandma the whole time.



Sarah, at the time, didn't care for too many people holding her.  Her big cousin Caleb was on her approved list though!  He loved taking care of her.  



Connor's all-time favorite toy at Grandpa's house!



A quiet moment fishing...



The Ward Cousins

Caleb's 9th Birthday

Look who turned 9 in 2009...




Caleb had a few friends come over for a military party.  Jeff gave them a tour of an F-15.  They learned all about its mission and all the parts of the plane.  They each got a turn to sit in the jet which was beyond cool to a 9 year old!  Afterwards, they got to fly an F-15 simulator.  They took turns fighting against each other...when they were not crashing into the ground!  
Even Connor and Claire took a turn at the stick.


After dinner, it was time to get to the sugary stuff!!

Fall Flag Football

Caleb played on an Upwards flag football team in the fall.
He had a blast!
