Labor Day weekend

For labor day weekend, the Meyer family took our 3rd annual trip to Stinson Beach/Muir Woods (has it really already been 3 years since we moved up here????). We drove down on Saturday morning and took Cole and Olivia to the beach. Unfortunately for us, the weather wasn't so great this year. For all you southern california followers, it was a cool 59 degress at the beach. Yikes! Of course, the kids didn't seem to care, although Cole wouldn't step foot in the water and Olivia was too little. But, the kids did have a great time playing in the sand and building sand castles with daddy and the highlight of the day was that Cole FINALLY got to fly his new kite and daddy did a great job of keeping it up in the sky. Olivia had a great time eating sand and rubbing it in her eyes every 2 seconds (so annoying!). After a day at the beach, we headed back to the hotel so that Cole could get some swimming in at the pool. On Sunday, we went to Muir Woods to see the Redwoods, which were just amazing and Cole did such a great job of hiking with us (Olivia was in the backpack and also did a good job!!) All in all, the weekend was a lot of work trying to watch the kids, but we had fun creating some great family memories.

Our trip in September 2007: Just the three of us:-)




Our trip in September 2008: I was 8 months pregnant with Olivia and not feeling up for the hiking, so we opted for the discovery bay musuem in SF instead of Muir Woods.




Our trip in September 2009: The four of us!!!



Cole was thinking he was going to get to ride in the backpack. Wrong!




Cole was sooooooo excited to fly the kite!


Giving himself a "thumbs up" about his kite


Meanwhile, Olivia was enjoying the rest of daddy's beer
