Labour Day Weekend

In America, this Saturday, Sunday and Monday constitute Labor Day Weekend.  This typically means a three day holiday.  The Smith family is lucky enough to be spending time with my England relatives in Woodland, which has meant swimming, hiking, snacking, chatting and peace.  All of today's relaxation left me with one question. Why do we celebrate Labor Day?  I hopped onto the US department of Labor's website and found the following answer.

"Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country."

That sounds reasonable, but is it true?...



My feet.  The kids playing in the pool.  That rock party to the right is a beautiful waterfall with a slide and there are even some ledges for leaping off of.



Lunch at one of Jeannette's favorite restaurant's in Park City. Viva Mexico!



Good looking family members.
