This Labor Day weekend was one of my most exciting weekends I’ve been a part of in a long time. The weekend started out going to work Friday morning, I started my day at 3:30 AM. After getting ready at home I hopped in my car and drove forty-five minutes to work. After about nine hours, I finally got to go home. I had to leave early to because I was planning on meeting my cousin Dylan’s girlfriend, to visit his sister Marisa’s grave site. So as soon as I got into the car I called her and was shocked to find out that her soccer practice was moved from four to three. That gave me time to pack my clothes for this long weekend away, and do some quick reading before we left. Then Saturday came.
On this particular Saturday, my boyfriend and I were going to lead his family’s fleet of cars up to a wedding in Eau Claire. The fleet of cars that ended up following us turned out to be only three cars, but originally they had discussed a group of five to seven cars, and yes that is after carpooling. Since I was in the lead car, I was given the title of co-captain. My duties were to get us to Eau Claire without any “detours”, also known as getting lost. So with MapQuest directions in hand we headed out of Caledonia and on to Eau Claire. After getting us to Eau Claire and enjoying the wedding it was time for “The Great Minnesota Get Together”.
The Minnesota State Fair, the home of deep fried food, and everything you could ever imagine on a stick. While at the state fair, we ate a lot, but not as much as Mike, my boyfriend, and I wanted to. We also saw the biggest pig there, and saw a parade. The parade was fun, there were so many things that I have never seen up close before, but always have wanted to, like people walking on stilts. We also got a bucket of chocolate chip cookies. We had to eat a dozen of them to even get the cover on the top of the cookies. After the fair, we were on our way to visit my grandparents in Lake City. My family was invited to come up and go fishing. So we stopped by just in time for Mike to make it on the second fishing trip. Then we were on our way home. |

On Monday, Mike and I were invited to go golfing with my family, and my brother’s girlfriend’s parents. Her family doesn’t golf at all, it was very interesting, and fun. After working up an appetite, we all went out to eat. The meal was good, but we had more things to do that day, my mom and I headed out to my grandma’s. For about three hours we just sat there and talked, which is the best thing in the world. Then Mike must have finished his second round of golf, with my dad, so he came out and told me that his sister had her baby. So we left my grandma’s to go see her baby, which of course is adorable.
That was my weekend; I hope that it didn’t bore you. It was more interesting if you were there, I couldn’t tell you everything that happened, and I probably skipped over a ton of fun activities. So thank you for reading this. I hope all of you had a fun and exciting Labor Day weekend as well.
