Labor Day weekend

We had a great whirlwind weekend with some visitors from Chicago. Pete and Alisha flew in on Thursday night and just left today. I hoped we showed them a good time. Aaron and I are exhausted. :)

Friday, we had Byron's first day of preschool (of course!) in the morning and then went out for a celebratory lunch. In the afternoon, we went to the beach where Pete and Alisha both got stung by a jellyfish. That wasn't the best introduction to the beach. Poor guys. Thankfully, the life guards came by shortly after Pete got stung and had some spray to help with the stinging. He really got it bad on both legs. I guess it's been a really bad year for jellies. That night we had the Duttenhaver's over for a barbecue. It was quite the feast (if I do say so myself).

Saturday we rented a boat in the morning. It was fantastic! Aaron was a great pilot and the boys had a great time. We just tooled around, saw some dolphins (really a ton!) and stopped to swim every once in a while. We really didn't go out on the ocean. The waves were pretty big due to Hurricane Hermine (??). We mostly stayed on the inter coastal waterways.

Looking for some snacks (that's Alisha's hand, she's very brave)...
Saturday afternoon Aaron took Pete and Alisha kayaking. I stayed in for movie night with the little men.

Sunday, we were all completely exhausted and took it easy in the morning. In the afternoon, Aaron, Pete and Alisha headed downtown to check out the sites. The boys and I met up with them after naps at Forsyth Park and for dinner. Byron was being completely goofy at dinner, Waylon was a little terror.

We had a great time with Pete and Alisha. It's hard to tell who had the most fun though. The boys were both overjoyed to spend time with uncle Pete.
