Labor Day Stuff

Labor Day is by far my favorite holiday celebrated in September. Who could ask for more than a day off from work to celebrate the fact that you work. Brilliant I tell you! So for this particular holiday we decided to head back to Roosevelt to spend the day with Jack's family. They rented some rafts and the ENTIRE family went rafting down Flaming Gorge. It was the first time the entire family had been together since Sam and Tiffany were married back in April. We had so much fun. We started the day early and crammed 5 people into our Nissan Sentra... yes it does seat 5 but it shouldn't! We actually had to rock our bodies back and forth to give the car momentum up the mountains. (Reason #37 why we want a new car) It was fun though. And once we got there we all split up in the 2 rafts. All the married children ended up in one so it gave us a chance to chat. Tiffany and I had by far the hardest job... have you ever tried to look pretty and not get wet while on raft. Difficult. We stopped for lunch on a huge rock. It was delicious and I have randomly been craving turkey sandwiches and hickory bbq chips now. It took us quite a few hours to get down the river and surprisingly enough there weren't really any water fights. The water was freezing though so I don't think anyone wanted to get wet. We were all exhausted on our way home. We got back to the Ady's house and Jack crashed. (as in fell asleep... not wrecked the car) Poor kid. Then we all sat around and ate pizza and talked for a while. It was fun to see everyone and spend the day together.
