Labor Day 2010

Can you believe that we went to my parents' house on the lake for the weekend and I didn't even take my camera????  I know!!  I guess my intuition knew that nothing picture worthy was going to happen!  Ha!

So we didn't get to leave until Saturday after 2pm due to work.  On our way up there, we get a few phone calls from everyone else (that is already there) asking if we can stop at the Lowe's in College Station to get a few parts for my Dad's irrigation system.  Didn't sound like it was going to be too difficult until Dan (my brother-in-law) starts naming/describing what he needs.  Ummm, yeah.... I was lost pretty much from the beginning of that conversation!!!  Lol!!!  But I was smart enough to get a very nice sales associate to help me once I got there.  I called Dan back up and just had him tell the sales guy exactly what he needed.  Much easier!!  :)

It was cool this weekend because almost everybody was there!  We were just missing Sam and Stacy.  And that is a rare occurrence to have all three families there.

It was a pretty laid back weekend.  We ate, played some shuffleboard, kids played outside, and enjoyed each others company.  This was actually Gabe's first time to be back to the lake since New Year's!!  And we don't know when we will get to go back as a family again due to work, school, etc.  So it was good to get away and relax a bit.  

While we were there though, we did hear some upsetting news.  Gabe's mom called on Sunday morning to tell us that Gabe's grandfather had passed the night before. 
It's always hard to deal with someone passing, especially when you are as close to them as Gabe was to his Grandpa.   :(


RIP Grandpa Zavala... we love you!
