Labor Day in Gridley

For Labor Day we headed to Gridley, so Ava could enjoy one last swim in the big pool before it gets too cold.  Too bad it wasn't really warm and even rained a little while we were there.  It didn't stop Ava though.  She put her swim suit on to launch water balloons and then swim for a little bit.

Inside we had fun too.  Some of the cousins help Nonna make apple pies.  Rich and Ava made zucchini cookies to share.  And, the sister-in-laws got crafty by making hair bows and flowers for our daughters.  It was a fun filled two days that wore us all out and left us scarred with mosquito bites.
