Chicken Noodle-O's

We added a new weapon to our Arsenal of Awesomesauce, just in time for the end of the summer: pool noodles. Which, of course, Shae LOVES.

One of our plethora or Labor Day picnics was at one of my aunt's, and we forgot to take the bubble. Fortunately there were noodles. Which, I may have mentioned, Shae LOVES.

We quick ran out and got some for my grandmother's pool, because there is another weekend left, and BY GOD, we are going to have all the fun we can stand.

I do not anticipate any problems there. Hell or high water, if that cover is off, Shae will be swimming. She went in the ocean even when it was 57°F.

And now I have one more thing to look forward to for NEXT summer.

Labor Dabor

Be back in a bit -- we're busy squeezing the last little bit of fun out of the summer.

See you tomorrow, if I survive this last day.

Vroom Vroom VROOM!

I basically double-dog-dare you to look at these pictures and not go "Vroom! Vroom!" in your head.

No, wait ... I TRIPLE-dog-dare you. Yeah, that's what I thought. RAWR!

Splashdown

Shae loves the diving board, so I have absolutely no idea why she acted so scared at Keyth & Jamie's party -- maybe she thought the water was too cold?

Scared or cold or not, she's going off the board at Uncle Quack's this weekend, because summer is almost over. I might try to teach her to do a flip, just because it will be a long time before she gets another chance.

No, I'm not looking forward to the fall and winter at all.

Everest

Before we start, a dumb joke that I remember from kindergarten: what is the laziest mountain in the world? Mount Ever-Rest. Get it? Haha?

Anyway. We went to my cousin Keyth and his new wife Jamie's reception picnic over the weekend, and there was a pool and, more importantly, a sliding board into the pool. I was going to write this up like some kind of dramatic screenplay (blogplay?) but the pictures pretty much speak for themselves, so here you go.

Although it may not be readily apparent, we did have fun doing this.
