Labor Day

Relaxing was the order for Labor Day weekend. We had a family day in the country behind Michelle & Chris' Outback Western Wear store. Their air conditioned event hall provided a nice respite from the heat and humidity of the day. Paco smoked his BEST EVER brisket while all the cousins ran wild outside playing with their big wheels, balls, bats, golf clubs, etc.... Robbie played photographer for a while. Any close ups that follow were taken by him and edited a bit by me.

Close-up of me by Robbie. I was so disgusted by my crow's feet, dark circles and wrinkles that I "photoshoped" most of them off!!! LOL! I wish I could do that for real....

In addition to taking pictures, Robbie had a blast racing his little motorcycle in the open wearing his hockey helmet, and Jeff's work gloves. That's crazy, eh?
Even Jack got to ride the motorcycle with daddy. As you can tell by the smile on his face, it was quite the thrill for him. He points with his little index finger and says "go-go-go."
Naked, Again! Jack simply can't attend a family gathering without gleefully streaking naked at least once. This time he was chased by auntie Michelle's dog Cosmo who followed him everywhere and even kissed his....(harrrumph.) You just gotta LOVE those "Michelin" baby legs.... Yummy!! I could just kiss them, and pinch 'em, and take little bites..... which begs the question, how is this child only in the 30% (23.6 lbs) for weight while in the 75% (32.5 in) for height? I guess some recessive genes sneak in there somehow. Robbie, meanwhile, is in the 96% for weight and 61% for height. No surprises there!
