Do you remember that time when I said I was ready for fall, for school and for getting back into a schedule? Well, I lied. I can’t really complain this week because I only have one day of school thanks to Labor Day and Rosh Hoshanna, but next week we get down to the nitty gritty. The little man starts preschool (we had orientation yesterday) and I fall into the schedule of getting the both of us ready to be out the door by 7:15 AM! Yikes!
Anyway, enough lamenting about what is to come, let’s talk about the fun that we had this weekend! We spent the weekend in the Poconos and even though the weather wasn’t great, we still managed to spend a bunch of time outdoors and have some fun.
On Saturday night, we went to the West End Fair. Growing up in NYC, the West End Fair is the only real country fair I’ve ever been to, and this was our second year going.
Alex got to go on the rides, eat cotton candy and feed the animals in the petting zoo. We also got to check out lawn mowers, tractors and headstones. As soon as we saw flyers for the fair, Tommy started joking that this year was going to be the year he buys his, but we left empty handed, thank goodness. Can anyone explain to me why headstones are sold at the fair? I just don’t get it!
On Sunday we did some shopping and spent some time walking around Main Street. We walked over the the dam, which makes a really pretty waterfall on the river.
On Monday, it poured almost all day, but we got to spend some time outdoors between downpours. I found some roller blades in the garage, so I strapped on the little guy’s skates and we roller skated for a bit.
We also put the dehydrator to good use and made pineapple and mango chips. Alex isn’t a huge fan of pineapple, but he ate almost a whole dehydrated pineapple! We brought the dehydrator home from PA and I plan on making some more dried goodies while I’m off from school this week.
And that was our weekend. Nothing too crazy, but just the right mix of active and rest. We are going away next weekend for my birthday (woohoo!) and I cannot wait!
What did you do over Labor Day weekend?
Looks like you had a great weekend! We did too – spent it at the beach. I’m not quite ready for fall yet or to return from vacation (back this week). It’s going to be a rough re-entry…

I love fairs– Last year I went to like every single one in a 20 mile radius haha.
Rollerskating and fairs!!! SO FUN!! So not ready for fall myself!
We spent the weekend camping a few hours north of where we live. We came back Sunday though because I had to work on Monday, but we still had a great time!

I’m playing blog catch up!
I recently bought a dehydrator, i don’t like pineapple, but maybe I should try some in the dehydrator to see if I like it 🙂 Thanks for the idea
