Alex termed the day "NO" Labor day, because we were meant to do... nothing ;)
It was nice to relax especially because we were having a BBQ with the Hoffmanns that afternoon. Alex was especially excited because that meant mom was making her SALSA!! It is so good, and she blends a special batch just for Alex cause he likes it smooth.

And then it was time to eat......
Rachel and Jason
Everyone brought something delicious to share and dad made some mean BBQ
A family tradition is orange Jell-O, which Jacob and Elaina always seem to be the ones to bring it. Which probably makes sense cause they both love it. Alex hasn't quite come around ;)
I love NOT laboring!
Hoffmanns also have a "family game" some may know as Mad Gab, we may call it "ape ees ach eeze?"
OF COURSE the girls won!! Plug your nose or use a southern accent, you'll get it.
Alex rocks at this game, and was actually a huge asset to the guys, but they just couldn't come from behind to beat us.
After dinner and games, we headed to Leatherby's for our family's tradition of ice cream. Alex and I drove his little Scion while we followed mom and dad and the Hoffmann Biker Gang.
Rachel, Jason, Ben & Angela, and Jacob & Elaina
They stay together just like a pack
Ready, Set, GO....
Elaina, is your helmet on backwards? ;)
We made it to Leatherby's and this nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us together. TRADITION
This was all of their bikes lined up in a row, sandwiched between mom and dad's car and ours. One by one, as we stood there while everyone got their gear on, three police cars showed up and checked them all out.
"The Girls"
I thought about a different mode of transportation home.....Zoom, ZOOM
It was a great NO Labor day and I'd take another one any day. Being with family is great and we loved all of it. Miss you and your scooter J and Bee!

Sounds like lots of fun!! I LOVE Family Traditions!! And I think you and Alex are right! It should be "NO" Labor day!! :)
Yes, I love the idea of NO labor day. We did pretty much the same thing...no labor, just fun!
It may be 8:30 in the morning, but after looking at your post, I am hungry for ice cream!
I love how your family does so many fun things together.
p.s. Dru's soccer game is at 9:00 on the butler fields behind the rec center. Come if you can. No pressure.
So fun!
The mad gab cards had me laughing...as well as the "name" you guys call it instead. LOL!
Ahh Leatherbys...MISS MISS MISS IT!
Love the hair sis!
We sure do miss you guys. It seems like you waited until we moved to bust out all the fun stuff.... :)
