Labor Day

Our Labor Day was a good one.  Some of our friends invited us over for swimming and grilling, and it was so nice to just relax by the pool all day.  There were some intense games of Bagg-O (we always called it "Cornhole"-- who knew?), a squirt gun fight, and maybe even a ghost story or two.  Actually, I think there were a lot of ghost stories-- Hope set up her own haunted house under a raft in the pool and brought people in one by one.  ;)

Did you do anything fun over the holiday?  Leave me a link if you blogged about it!

    That looks like a lot of fun! So jealous, because I didn't get to go swimming over the weekend, even though it was hot hot hot! Love your swimsuit :)

    It's totally called Cornhole! I don't know about this Bagg-O nonsense :)

    Looks like you had a great time, glad you stayed cool with a pool!

    Great shots! The weather wasn't as great here in CT (it rained off and on all day) so our planned barbecue with friends was canceled in favor of going to Chili's. Then we finished off the last of our "fireworks" in the backyard. http://callofthe-wild.blogspot.com/2013/09/saying-goodbye-to-summer.html

    Games by the pool will always make for a great Labor Day! I am envious if your swimsuit!

    I made a weekend trip to Austin and had lots of fun on South Congress, I wrote about it here!

    We don´t celebrate this day in Germany, but I like it that it looks like that we wore nearly the same hat on this day :)

    I love a good pool party! That looked like a fun way to spend the unofficial "last weekend" of summer!
    We tried to go camping... and it wasn't exactly what we were hoping for. Bright side, right? http://theusualbliss.com/2013/09/03/apologies-to-betty/

    Looks like so much fun! There's nothing like hanging out poolside in the summer and soaking up those rays. Especially when it was so hot this weekend. I'm in Kansas City, and Saturday was definitely a scorcher! I love your hat and swimming suit. You always have the coolest and more inspirational style:) I blogged about our Labor day weekend. If you have a minute, check it out:) Have a great day! http://www.thistooisfoundhere.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-mid-end-summers-night-dream.html

    I went to FSU, we always called it cornhole there! It's fun, but I'm so terrible at it! My brother tried to teach my English boyfriend how to play on our vacation in Captiva last weekend, but he's about as hopeless as I am :) have a great week!

    Aw, sounds like a lovely time! I did something very fun: I was a bridesmaid in one of my dearest friends' wedding. It was all sorts of magical. I'm waiting to post the photographs my husband and I took till the bride shares hers. However, here is a link to our August: http://endlesslyenraptured.com/2013/09/04/august-in-instagrams/

    My husband and I replanted all of our clippings from our baby succulents into new pots. They are amazing =) You can just keep clipping and replanting. Such a great way to save $, hardly any water, and their so unique looking. I love 'em! Love your photos too, especially Poe passed out on papas shoulder from the earlier post, soo cute <3
