The gang was all here for Labor Day and it was truly a phenomenal time. Andrew and Tamar flew in from LA and Emilee and Austin drove up from their colleges. Ali and Brad joined us Sunday night for a bonfire. The days were filled with activities to physically wear us out while the nights brought us together in subjective conversations around the campfire or dinner table. We taught Meema, Rick's mom, a few new things; how to play 'Cards Against Humanity" and how to ride a jet ski. She reciprocated by teaching us how to draw our blood and test our blood sugar. Thank goodness no surprises, we all were within normal ranges. Emilee and Austin shared their study aboard presentation with us Saturday night. It was so much fun to listen to all the kids talking about their travel experiences. Rick and I really need to get to Europe! We rented a jet ski on Sunday which provided a day filled with excitement. Austin and Andrew were quite the experts weaving back and forth and jumping waves. The highlight on the water for me was when Austin pulled Emilee and I in a new tube. The way he pulled us thru the wake and whipped us around made us laugh so hard we couldn't breath. Funny thing is when we first got on the tube they asked if we wanted our beverages. We thought it was going to be a relaxing cocktail cruise.
