This day is the last vacation or chance to go out with your family or friends before it starts to get cold and bitter outside. Just the other day I started making plans with my family to go on one last camping trip before winter hits and it gets too cold to take the kids out and sleep in a tent. It's exciting planning and anticipating trips like this, getting the whole family together going up to the hills and roughing it. There's nothing quite like being in the majestic Rockies cooking your food over a fire or a gas grill, fighting off the flies and mosquitoes, sitting around a fire talking with the friends and family about the good ole days.
There's a lot of options for you and your family this upcoming Labor Day. Depending on where you live you could go camping, water skiing, wave running, skimboarding, surfing, hiking or even go hit an amusement park.
The most important thing to remember is just going out and enjoying time with your friends and family because they're most important in this life. When we leave this world they're going to be the only ones standing there remembering the good times we had, nothing else will be there and that's a guarantee.
Sometimes rounding up the whole family to go out for the weekend has it's challenges and stresses but there's no doubt about it that it's all worth it and something you'll always remember. Going on trips with my family when I was young are some of the best memories of my life.
Be safe this Labor Day and have fun!

Summer Vacations Are Good For Kids
If you sit and think about when you were a kid what comes to mind? It would be safe to say that summer time would pop into our minds. Taking vacations, catching frogs and snakes, camping, going to the beach or just relaxing in your back yard with a mini swimming pool or the sprinkler.
When I was around 12 years old my family (2 sisters and 1 brother) made the long trip from Utah to Pennsylvania to visit my mom's cousin. Wow, that was quite the adventure if I sit and reminisce about that trip. There were a lot of fights, tears, blood, laughs and great memories made on that trek to the east coast. We saw many historical places and even took a tour of the White House. Being a 12 year old kid it didn't really hit home all the cool sites I saw because we were more interested in the hotel's swimming pools but now I thank my mom for that trip.
Another trip that we took every summer that sticks out in my mind was going to Orange County, California. We would go there to visit my mom's best friend and we'd hit all the popular places such as Disneyland, Hollywood and the beach. That's where I had my first boogie board experience, needless to say I almost died but I also fell in love with the ocean and board sports from that day on.
These vacations are very important for kids. I cherish these memories and love to sit and think about them and how much fun I had with my family growing up. Now that we're all grown up and have families of our own whenever my family gets together for parties or holidays we all like to sit and talk about all the fun and goofy things we did on our vacations.
There's still some summer left. Take your kids out even if it's just camping for the weekend. Some of the best times I spent with my family were our frequent weekend camping trips.
Have fun and be safe.
