Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend ended up being quite laborious for us! We all drove to the Cape Thursday night and then helped Grandma Jan hold a yard sale. We have found that having a babysitter is key to getting just about anything productive done. Grandma Jan's friend Francee came over with her granddaughter Danielle to watch Ethan for us. This is really special because Francee's daughter Jennifer used to babysit for me and Jamie! You know you're old when...

Here they are enjoying their lunch on the front yard. Ethan likes to play it cool around the ladies.



We ended every day with a trip to Millway to let Ethan run around at the beach. It was low tide at that time of day and Mr. Man had a blast with the hermit crabs (key-cabs) and snails.





On Sunday, Steve and Grandma Jan took Ethan to Edaville Railroad to meet Thomas! Ethan wasn't so sure about this place with all the kids.





Then he couldn't decide which way to go first!



Waving "hello" to Thomas







He had his tickets ready to go! Although he did enjoy looking at Thomas more than riding on him.











This experience has turned Ethan into Thomas' biggest fan! In addition to the hat, he got a t-shirt and a book. He throws a complete fit when you try to take the shirt off of him and then when it's off he has to carry it around. You can only imagine how many times we've read the book...
