Before I head off to Italy I need to spend some time with the family. We all met up in Dallas and drove up to a lake about an hour outside of the city. "Grandma" and "Grandpa" were already up there with the kids when we arrived. Even though it is September first we decided to celebrate Brooklyn's birthday and Christmas since we won't all be together for those holidays.
After our day at the lake Grandma and Grandpa took off in the motorhome to meet me in California. I spent the next day trying to keep the kids entertained while Natalie went to work. We went to Wal-Mart and found a little arcade in the front. Even though I didn't give them any money to play the games with, they had a blast and didn't want to leave even 30 minutes later.
I spent Labor Day weekend with my parents at our cabin in California. On Sunday Green Valley Lake organizes a day of activities including kayak races, a sandcastle building and the main event, a dam to raft swim. 
The swim is particularly difficult, it is about 1000 feet, in 66 degree water at 7000 feet elevation. And the elevation is by far the hardest part. Most of us are winded before we start. This year we didn't get any trophies, but we all finished.
