We spent Labor Day in Canaan Valley West VA. We go every year with Patrick's family and stay in a rental home at a ski resort. We had great weather this year. We enjoyed fishing (the kids both caught fish!), bunjee jumping , mini golf, crafts, a water balloon cpntest and volleyball. Both kids competed in a watermelon eating contest and Margaret was the winner! She won free passes to a "turtle slide" which is a tube ride down the ski slope minus the snow! We even won the family scavenger hunt, collecting things like pine cones, leaves, a bird feather and birch bark.
We also tried "geochaching" this year for the first time. It involves using a GPS to find hidden treasure boxes on a hiking trail. THe whole family enjoyed it. We also visited our favorite pizzaria- Sirinoni's and ate too much again this year. We look forward to it every year and then pig out!
We took so many pics, I posted them on Picasa. If you want to check them all out- send me an email and I will send you a link... but here are some of my favorites...
