We got as close as we could to a beach to celebrate Labor Day this year. About an hour away is Lewisville Lake and it was great. Lots of people, sand, and warm, shallow water. It was fun to see Hazel and Henry dig in the sand and make their first sandcastles. 
We came home and made our favorite summer meal- grilled veggies and chicken kabobs, cous-cous salad, and pitas with hummus. This summer has been good to us!
