Trip to MN

Back in June we took a trip out to MN. We visited tons of family and friends. We experienced many firsts---Lea's first airplane ride, Lea's meeting great grandparents for first time, Mommy and girls getting to see Daddy's first school, first home, and town he grew up as a little boy!!!!!




The girls did it---they were so good--traveling 2000 miles, connecting flights, long car rides....but tons of fun so I think that was their best reward of all....

Summer of 2010----June

We have had quite a busy summer. We pretty much spent every weekend traveling or visting somewhere. We are trying to take advantage of the warm weather with the kids since most of winter we stay inside coped up. Here is some of our high lights in June---my goal is to be caught by this week.


Before we hit the road--we wrapped up dance until the fall--only to pick up soccer and swim lessons ---so our schedule didn't shrink by no means

Jubilee Day in Mechanicsburg---before we left for MN we celebrated our hometown Mechanicsburg at Jubilee day--the girls love the rides....
