labor day

on the labor day holiday (monday) we went out to our favorite orchard to pick up some of the early ripening apple varieties.  sean and seth gladding came with us.  it was overcast when we arrived and soon after there was a torrential downpour.  the boys and i stayed on the porch while sherry and sean braved the wet to finish out the fruit picking.  the afternoon was very relaxed back at home....some lego construction, yahtzee, reading, and a movie to finish of the evening.  all in all a very satisfactory celebration of work via rest.
