OK!!! As one can tell, that last weekend wore me out so I haven't been able to catch up. Not really....It has just been crazy hectic. I hosted a "Girl's Night" this past Friday and it was all about yard work, and house cleaning this week.....along with food prep and the rest of the normal daily routines. Let's see, Labor Day weekend was quite uneventful for the most part. Well, I say that.....now that I think about it, Jamesen did wake up at 4:30 am throwing up and again at 6:30, then the big D the rest of the day into Sunday. Poor guy, must have caught something at school. Jake had his first official game Saturday morning. They beat Bearden 12-0....he scored a touchdown (pass) and a safety. He is having a fun season and loving every minute of it. Well, maybe every minute....I do hear a lot of complaining come practice time. I think once the cool weather gets here it won't be so bad.

Jake taking in the view
on Neyland Drive on the River. Food vendors, activities, inflateables,etc. then in the evening, they put on a HUGE fireworks display off
one of the bridges. It is the Nations largest Labor Day weekend fireworks display. Because Tennessee RV loans Motor Homes to the officials, we get tickets to go on the VIP River Boat. It drives us right up to the bridge with a front row seat to the fireworks display. It is quite the fireworks show. We met Roger, Amberly, Casey, Robbie, Charlie, Gail,Cindy, Larry down there and had a good time.

I do have to admit, if it is in the 90's next year, we probably will not attend. We lived here 3 years before even attending our first Boomsday. I would rather stay home than fight the crowd. Being able to see it via the River Boat makes all the difference in the world. It was just almost unbearable HOT!
After a french fry stop at McDonalds we got home around midnight. Thank goodness we had Labor Day to sleep in and recoop before the school week started again!
