Didn't think that we'd have so much fun without going away for the Labor Day weekend. Usually when there's a 3-day weekend coming up, we'd be planning a trip somewhere. We've been quite busy the past few weeks and it's really a welcome relief to just stay home and chill. However, the weather was nice and we wanted the kids to have fun. So on Saturday we drove to the other side of the bay and went swimming at Joinville Swim Center. Earlier that morning I was able to purchase a swim vest for KatKat so we didn't have to hold her all the time when in the pool. I'm glad I did since she had a blast "swimming" by herself while big sister Kamille practiced her arm strokes and side breathing.
On Sunday, we were at a Safari themed birthday party for my college friends' son. He was turning a year old and had a party at Commodore Park in San Bruno. The kids enjoyed it. KatKat even sat still to have her face painted with a little bumblebee and her hand with some flowers. They got to take home a cute loot backpack filled with toys and candy.
Monday was the official holiday so we just slept in. It's nice not having to wake up early for a change. Hung out at home most of the day. Did some grocery shopping later in the afternoon and had dinner at my sister-in-law's house. We have this thing of celebrating monthly mini-birthdays till the baby gets to be a year old. Nothing fancy but we always have noodles for long life. Happy 2nd month Carl!
