Rain rain go away! I was so excited to see that the grass in PA was brown—we have been getting so much rain here at home, but it seemed to have followed us because it rained just about the entire time we were there. Our 4th of July plans were washed away! However, the kids made the most of it, playing on "the park" all day. And a trip to Friendly's and some ice cream was just as a great as a BBQ in their eyes. We did manage to take Tyler and Jared and their cousins Spencer and Riley to see some fireworks in the rain. They had a good ole’ time…the adults did not.
Monkeying around. Rob took off and went golfing Saturday morning (a much deserved and needed break for him). My mom and I herded my kids and the cousins to Monkey Joes’s—an indoor moon bounce place (and much nicer then the holes by us). Good times were had and the boys definitely got a work out. Anna spent the whole time sitting in a race car. She would get upset if anyone else tried to take the stationary car for a spin. Evan whined a bunch (overtired) and when the giant purple Monkey Joe approached him from behind, patted his head, Evan turned around and gave one blood curdling scream. Then he quivered on Mimi’s lap until Monkey Joe disappeared. (Pictures to come--they're still on the video camera--the camera was ruined by the 4th rain).
Cousins. The boys love seeing their cousins! And fortunately for us, they have LOTS of them! Ethan and Kira made it to PA Saturday evening, which "wasn't enough time" for them to play. We had Cafe Rio night (yummy...) and just hung out. On Sunday, we headed up to see Alison who had spent the previous day at the hospital. The kids always like going there because they have a "fun" yard--a trampoline being the newest addition. Brooklyn was excited to share all of her girly toys with Anna. (Bummed I don't have any pics because it was so dang sweet).
Now we're home for a day, to pack up for our UT trip and Yellowstone. I'm looking forward to sleeping in a tent for 3 nights (heehee--not really) and really looking forward to seeing the boys excitement when they see Yellowstone!!

Seriously Andrea that's just creepy. We were in Pa. this weekend and we had a Cafe Rio night! How odd. Fortunately for us the rain held off in State College so that we got the full fireworks display (best fireworks display I've ever seen).
I love Anna's patriotic hairbow!! Looks like a fun trip, I can't believe you're turning around and leaving again!! Have a fun trip in Yellowstone. (does this mean you are getting a new camera for the trip since yours broke?)
Evan is my kind of guy. Look at that big helping of ice cream. He can hang out with his aunt laura when he gets here. we will go get ice cream together.
