Family Labor Day

We spend all of Labor Day with my family. 


First, we woke up early to see the balloon launch.  We met everyone- Grandma, Mom & Dad, and Kev & Lori down at the park and parked it for the launch. 

 It was early and a bit chilly!

 But  the view of all those balloons is spectacular.

 The gang- Dad, Me, Kev, Mom, Grandma and Lori (Jar took the pic).

 So many balloons touched down on the lake this year. There were a few that we thought were going to get stuck in the water.

Three generations- Mom, Me and Grandma Meister

After resting and getting cleaned up, we all crammed into Mom & Dad's mini-van and drove up to Cripple Creek.  It was a pretty drive up there and a fun afternoon.  Originally, it was Mom's idea but it wasn't what she envisioned. We had lunch, played some penny slots and looked around town.

 Kevin even tried his hand at Blackjack.

We're smiling because we all came out ahead after playing the slots and had a great day spending time with family.
