On Labor Day, families across the U.S. come together to celebrate the hard work and contributions of workers nationwide.
Like many other holidays, Labor Day is often marked by gatherings of multiple generations - kids, parents, and grandparents enjoying backyard barbecues or engaging in group activities like visiting national parks.
