Labor day weekend is always bittersweet for us. We love summer but fall is pretty cool too. One of our favorite things to do over Labor day weekend, is the Cleveland National Airshow. Brian loves it. Austin remembers it and loves it too. Sydney also thinks it is cool. We got there on Sunday around 11am and we stayed until 5pm after the Blue Angels. We went in several planes and kids had fun doing different activities. Austin enjoyed the NASA exhibit and learning about fuel cells. He asked the worker several questions to make sure he understood. We were impressed. It was a fun family day.
Labor Day weekend was extra sad this year. It was announced about two weeks ago that Wild Water Kingdom will be closing permanently on Labor Day. We are all very sad about that. We've had season tickets for 3 years now. It was perfect for the kids. We could go for a few hours at a time. Austin and Sydney love it there. We were hoping to allow them to spend many more summers there.
We spent a lot of time at Wild Water over the weekend even though the highs were barely 80 degrees. On Saturday, we went after Austin's soccer game. This was his first soccer game he played really well. He even scored a goal. The first few games of the season he hasn't been running hard and seems to not know what to do. This week was his turning point. Let's hope that continues.
On Sunday, we went after the airshow and stayed until it closed. Then on Labor Day, we were there at opening and stayed a few hours and then came back in the evening until it closed. In the evening, the kids played on the slides. The love the slides even the little ones. Then we went to the lazy river where Sydney lost her Frozen goggles. Though the crocodile pool to the splash pad and ended back at the slides. Brian and I even went down the slides with the kids. Now that the are bigger (especially when it's cold) we let them go up themselves. We can always see them. Then at the end, Brian and I were under the big bucket. Austin ran back up with Sydney for more slides and then we all stood under the big bucket one last time. However they shut the water off before it could dump. Everyone was sad. People were even chatting "one more bucket". It was sad leaving there. We have so many great memories. We feel bad for the kids. We will need to find something else for them to swim during the summer.
