Labor Day Visitors

We got to host another pool party for Labor Day when the Koudeles came up for their first visit since we moved to this house.  It wasn't quite as warm over the weekend as most people would enjoy, but Unicorn Princesses will swim in any weather, so it was just fine!   Thankfully we had a glitter unicorn float at the ready.   It helped that we received it from the Koudeles for a housewarming gift last year and astutely waited to debut it until they arrived!

Since we had an extra driver, of course we requested drop off service from Aiden on the evening that the adults went out!  We walked home but didn't want to waste our energy or get wind blown hair on our way there!  We joked he was going to take John's A4 for a joy ride on the 5 minute drive back home. Or at least cruise through the nearby college campus to meet some ladies.  According to his phone, he went straight home..... We tried a new-to-us place for drinks that was good, if not a little weird.   We're old enough and particular enough that we can make better drinks at home for the most part.  So we didn't stay out too long!

Plus Saturday morning was William's cross country meet.  Thankfully it was a home meet a mere 5 minutes from the house!   It was a beautiful morning and the first time they debuted their new team jerseys.  They were so much easier to spot on the course in these new light blue tanks.   Every other school also had the royal blue t-shirts like their old uniform which made it a challenge to spot your kid across a field!

That afternoon we got prettied up with manis and pedis (including some sparkles for Addie) and then did a family dinner out.   Since we new traffic and parking would be a mess, we called for the Tuk Tuks to come pick us up!   They only do rides around the core downtown area but our house is close enough that we're in the zone.   It was so much fun zooming down our street.   Especially on the ride home when we had a parents v kids race.   Parents won!  (I hope Keith and John tipped our driver extra for that victory!)

Had to get a final picture of the losers....I mean, the kids, after we got home.    Somehow Addie managed to hold onto her ice cream safely the entire ride home!   Aiden (16), William (13.5), Addie (9).
