A Lovely Labor Day

Since we both had Monday off, we decided to spend the day relaxing and counting our many blessings.  We had Mark-bear pancakes for breakfast... did a few chores... then packed a picnic and headed to Blue Creek. This is a tributary to the mighty Cowlitz.  The fish were running, but not biting.  It was so gorgeous... a perfect day.  Sunny, warm, blue sky, light breeze. 

The river is very powerful. It looks so peaceful, but it is flowing hard and fast.  Plus, it is icy cold!  Connor has worn waders and gone in up to his waist... but this time he just walked along the banks and posted on the logs.  Marie sat on the shore and read her book...wrote a note to her grandparents...and generally enjoyed the scenery (Connor Crush included!).  She did try to go for a dip... but it was way too cold for her!

We came home in time to hang out with the kittehs and for Connor to take a long nap.  Ate some leftovers (from our big cookout with Daryl on Sunday) for dinner. And finished the day with the annoying Bachelor Pad.  What a day! What a weekend!
Hope you all had a great weekend too.
