We took two friends with us this year; our goal was to go up to my parents' Friday and leave Monday morning and hit Hershey Park on the way home. The weather didn't cooperate so Hershey Park didn't happen. And by friends, I mean friends of mine and Dan's, not friends of the kids. We had a very good time!

It was a little misty Saturday morning.



My mom made pancakes and bacon for us, and then we all took a long walk up the road where they're building a house or two. My kids are lunatics!





The area where my parents built their house used to be a campground. The owners (my aunt's sister and her husband) divided it up and sold the plots. Some people take care of theirs, and some people choose not to.

This is the lovely pool (used to be part of the campground) we pass on the way up the hill.



They appear to be getting ready to have a party at Club Scuzz.



After lunch, we decided to go tubing. My dad dropped us off with the raft and five tubes tied tp the raft. Dan and Troy took the raft; the rest of us sunk our butts into the freezing Delaware and off we went. This trip usually takes about two to three hours, depending. We made it in almost three.









Fifteen minutes after we arrived back at the house, it started to pour!

Sunday morning, my parents took the girls fishing at a friend's pond way up the hill.





On the way home, we stopped and let the girls check out the bluestone quarry. It's HUGE.





All in all, a fantastic time!

LOVE these threads every year. How are your parents doing? The girls are growing up to be such pretty little women

i love these threads too! it always looks like such a relaxing time (love tubing!!)

your girls are still adorable (but getting so big!)

thanks!

LOL@ Club Scuzz!

Nice! Lots of greenery.

My mom and dad are awesome. In addition to pancakes and bacon, they made us kabobs of shrimp, sausage, and vegetables Saturday night with a smoked ginger sauce, eggs and sausage Sunday morning, and London broil, corn, salad, and baked potatoes Sunday night. Monday morning, they lined up the cereal boxes.

They are still travelling and hunting and fishing as much as possible, too. I can't wait to see them at the beach and that's only 48 hours from now!

On a bummer note, Dan's parents moved to California in July. We spent the weekend of the Fourth with them, for the last time on their farm in Western PA. They really needed a change and are very happy with their new digs. They live only 8 miles from Dan's sister, who lives in Moorpark. I'm trying to be hapy for them, of course, but am sad for us!

Nice fotos! The kids are so cute and getting all grown up.

Club Scuzz has a portable toilet.
That must be nasty!

I heart this threads too

Your kids will have such happy memories Kath

Great pics and agreed that the girls are growing up fast!

Missed this one somehow!

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.

Your pics remind me what it's like to live in a climate with rainfall. Thanks!
