We've never celebrated Labor Day as a family, so making a big deal out if it kind of odd. I'm still not sure what it's all about anyway.
Regardless, our new church had an ice cream social today and we went. We had volunteered to help dip the ice cream even though we didn't have any. Instead Savannah whipped up some chocolate/tahini mess that was outstanding.
After the ice cream consumption, the kids and some of the grown ups played some games--like sack races (those were hilarious to watch). I think the men were the funniest. Some of the boys threw a ball around for a bit--no one volunteered to toss it to me even though I was standing there watching (I thought looking like perhaps I'd like to join in?)
Pastor and Mr. E eventually got hold of the frisbee and I put myself into that game without an invite. That really was the highlight of the afternoon for me. A varity of players came and went, but Pastor S and I were the two constants. The boys had all gotten hot and retreated to the shade or the A/C...
Anyway, here's a few pictures (Savannah didn't take too many). I'll try to make them more interesting by the narration. :)

The men (okay so only two of them are full grown men) getting ready for their sack race. Mr. P (yellow sack) couldn't get himself into it.
Mr. P still trying to get settled...we were all giggling about it and his wife was joking that he needed some physical therapy!
Apparently Danny and Mr. P traded sacks...(I can't see Pastor in this one!)
Danny bounds in to win the race! Savannah has nicknamed Joshua "the leaning tower of Pisa" thanks to this photo. Pastor came in third and Mr. P didn't even make it...you can see him falling down back there.
Ya think I was amused? ;)

Pastor playing with the kids...
This isn't the best picture of me...I'm slouching and squinting down the field at Pastor (that's his daughter in the background)...but I sure was having fun!
Anyway...that's what I did this afternoon...now it's raining.
I'd better go check on supper...
