Labor Day Weekend 2009

The three of us headed up on Friday afternoon. It was just after Cam's first day of 4K in Pewaukee. We got up around 7pm or so and unpacked. Cam rode his bike a bit and then off to bed. Carrie and I hung out and watched a bit of TV and then to bed.

Saturday we had planned to go four wheeling by my Dad's house and also since we got hooked on geocaching, we were going to place a few around the ATV trails. The day started out bad and continued to get worse as Cam had a head cold which made his attitude horrible. We changed plans and stayed at the cottage in the morning to work with Cam to clean up his act. We were able to get the garage all wired up, the lawn mowed, and a few other odds and ends. After his nap, we headed for the trails. We unloaded the ATV's and started up the trail. Cam did not want to have anything to do with it and we were forced to turn around about 5 miles in. We loaded up and headed back for the cottage. For most of the afternoon, Cam was sitting in his bedroom having some alone time as that is what he needed at the time.

We made the decision on Saturday night to not plan no doing anything on Sunday due to our issues today. We got up and made an unplanned trip to Menards to pick up some deck wash, stain, and all the stuff to get the deck stained. We started early cleaning the deck, once dry, we started staining the large deck. Things went well and it turned out great. I was able to get 2 coats of stain down on Sunday. We then cleaned up the little deck with plans to stain on Monday morning.

Overall Sunday was just as bad for Cam as Saturday. We both were pretty stressed out by days end and glad to sit and relax with him in bed.

Monday, we woke and stained the little deck. We were anxious to get going home as the weekend had been a bust for the most part. We left about 10:30am and were home around 2:30. Cam took a great nap on the way.

Cam is a great child, but when he gets sick, watch out.
