Jokisch Family News: Labor Day Fun

Just to warn you this is a LONG post, but we had such a great weekend with family and friends that I didn't want to leave anything out. My parents came down to visit on Saturday so Jeremy and I snuck off to Decatur to stock up on some stuff and buy presents for Jack's birthday. While we were gone Nona and Papa took the kids to the park to play.

It's so precious when you see them doing something like this:) Nona captured this one on the way home from the park.

On Sunday we went out to Kelly and Tony's for a great party. Everyone had a good time, lots of food to eat and fun for everyone! Here we are getting ready for the party with Papa.

Okay, so the kids were in heaven! When we got to the party Brenda (Tony's mom) handed all the kids a Pony Buck which got them a ride on the cart with Mr. Lape and Pete the Pony. Alex, especially, was just overjoyed, except she did not want to share her pony ride with Jack. She threw a huge fit when I tried to get her to sit on my lap and Jack in the middle on the seat. She wanted to be a big girl and sit on her own!! So she got her own pony ride and I got to ride twice:)

Alex looking so so cute!

The kids showing off on the chairs. Can you tell some of us are teachers? The chair is actually labeled!!

After it got a bit too dark for the bounce house the kids took over the dance floor. They had great moves and it was just too fun to watch them. They did the chicken dance, the YMCA, line dances, and tons of freestyling!

Alex even got in there and was dancing with Sarah. Alex can sure wiggle those hips! After the kids dance session my parents whisked Jack and Alex home (which Jack was VERY upset about) and we got to stay and play with the adults. The girls and I did a whole lot of dancing and we even jumped in the bouncy house and went down the inflatable slide! It was definitely a night to remember.

Our neighborhood had and end of summer celebration on Monday. We all got together for breakfast around 9 am. It was so nice to spend time with our new friends and meet more! Jack and Alex had a great time playing with all the kids and animals. Jack and Caroline were pals all morning!
