Labor Day Weekend

It was incredibly nice and needed for us to have a 3 day weekend.  Scott has been working like crazy and I was just tired of being beyond slow at work.  Plus I really like being at home with Scott and Gabe. 

Friday night, Scott and I took Gabe out to dinner at Houlihan's.  We rarely eat out with Gabe and I was little nervous as to how he would do.  But he was a champ and ate a lot of his Mac and Cheese and even tried pot stickers.

On Saturday we were up early and out the door quick.  We headed to Soulard for much needed coffee and then to Wilmore Park to check out the new playground. 

Our goal was to go to the Greek Festival for lunch but a huge downpour stopped us.  We ran to the car and were soaked.  Gabe loved it.  Instead of gyros for lunch on Saturday we opted for sandwiches at LeGrands.  It had been a while since we ate there.  And of course, what is a trip to LeGrands without a free sample of little smokies.

We made got home in time to try a nap for Gabe and watch the first Husker game of the season. 

Great football game and zero napping happened.  Instead Gabe helped me make banana bread.  He is becoming a great little chef. 

As soon as the bread was done we headed south to meet Scott's parents at Garvey's for some wings.  After that busy day, Gabe was asleep 10 minutes after we left dinner.

On Sunday, Scott skipped Cross Fit and cut the grass at 7:30am instead.  I'm sure our neighbors loved us for that.  But it was sorely needed and we were trying to beat the rain.  We got cleaned up and met Scott's dad for breakfast at Bee Tree Park. 

A little playground time on a Sunday is always needed. 

After the playground we took off for the Greek Festival.  The food there is amazing.  Even though we weren't really hungry, the fresh gyros hit the spot.  Gabe did his best to pick and choose off the menu, he enjoyed some fries.  We were there early enough to catch a little bit of the Greek dancers.

On Monday we hit the mall as soon as it opened.  Gabe was in need of some new shoes and Scott and I are still looking for ways to decorate the house.  So, new shoes, Bread Co. for lunch and then a good walk around the mall for morning work out.  We got home in time to get a nap in and chill out before going to Scott's parents house for BBQ. 

A busy, but uneventful weekend for us.  The only thing we missed doing was watching the Gateway Cup bike race.  I'm sure we'll catch it next year.
