Carole, those all sound wonderful. I'm throwing a birthday party for my son, niece, MIL & FIL over the weekend -- maybe I could incorporate some of your suggestions. Like the water balloon fight. ;)

I'll propose the water balloon fight to my husband and see what he says!
Laura Eno said…
The official end of summer (please tell that to the bugs!)
Have a great weekend and relax. :)
Linda Kage said…
Hope you have a happy Labor Day!!

It all sounds wonderful. Happy Labor Day!

I have not been to the planetarium for years. You reminded me of its existence, and now I think I'll have to go! Happy Friday!
Sounds like fun!
Combining two things on the list into juggling pizzas would be entertaining!

LR said…
Yeah I haven't been to a planetarium for ages either. Good idea!
Summer Ross said…
Oh come on :) both at the same time would be super fun! Great list.
Pizza and movies! Oh, and I already know how to juggle.
Jo said…
Sounds fun. We in Africa don't have a Labor Day! Have a great weekend. Jo

Linda G - Perfect setting for a water balloon fight!

Diane - Go for it!

Laura - As hot as it's been, and still is, I still hate to see summer end.

Linda K - Same to you, Linda :)

Shirley - Time to relax.

Julie - Enjoy those stars.

Donna - LOL! Give it a go :)

LR - Ours isn't open all the time. I wish it were.

Summer - Try it!

Alex - You're all set for a few days.

Karen - Wine? I'm in!

Jo - We'll let you celebrate and chill with us :)
BECKY said…
Carol, since the weather forecast is probably ANOTHER 100+ degree day here, I'll stick with...staying home and writing, blogging, napping, etc.etc.! :)
Elspeth Futcher said…
A Labour Day with no labour - what a marvelous idea. I'll be spending the weekend making sure assorted teenagers are ready for school's first day on Tuesday and fighting with my neglected garden.
Lydia Kang said…
Agree with #1--wet feathers are NOT fun to clean up, LOL!
Mason Canyon said…
Great list. I'd go with #7. Hope you have a wonderful holiday.

I can give the juggling lessons! I'm glad you included that one. Maybe I should practice juggling this weekend.

Happy Labor Day!

Tossing It Out
Jayne said…
Right now, anything to do with floating or a hammock sounds perfect to me. ;)

Happy (non)Labor Day!
Carol Kilgore said…
Becky - Nothing but 100+ days in our forecast here, too. Sigh.

Elspeth - You'll do enough labor for all of us lounging under the Tiki Hut - LOL!

Lydia - Exactly!

Mason - Ahhhh :)

Brenda - Thanks. Same to you!

Arlee - I'm totally uncoordinated. I'd probably break an arm.
Carol Kilgore said…
Jayne - We crossed. That's it. Monday is officially the Tiki Hut Non-Labor Day!
Luanne G. Smith said…
I plan on sleeping in and eating lots of BBQ. I'm practicing for my winter hibernation. :)
Carol Kilgore said…
L.G.Smith - Funny! Enjoy.
Talei said…
sounds wonderful, I would love to float in a pool - right now! :-) xo
Janet, said…
Those all sound better than what we are doing. We are laboring or labor day weekend. Still painting our storage bldg/workshop! And our thermometer on the deck just pegged out.
Tracy Jo said…

J.L. Campbell said…
Now I'm wishing I had a holiday coming up!
Wendy said…
Oh yeah, we totally went for the pizza. But we used that option up before the actual labor day so we'll have to go to Plan B!

Stopped in from the BBQ to say hi. :)
Carol Kilgore said…
Joy - I know that feeling. We'll let you celebrate ours :)

Wendy - Good for you. Always have a Plan B!
those all sound like great ways to pass the day! Unfortunately I live in france and today was the day kids all went back to school so I'm celebrating at KarenG's BBQ:) Nice to 'meet' you!
