Grandparents

We were so happy to have my parents visit us for three weeks.
We tried to squeeze as much in as we could. The first couple of
days we took them to Springton Manor Farm to see the baby pigs
then Marsh Creek park to see the lake and on Saturday to 
Valley Forge National Historical Park .

On their second week we sent them to Upstate New York, for a
week of touring.  We gave them one day to rest then on Saturday
we took them to Cape May, New Jersey to see the shore.
We spent Sunday resting. Then on Monday we went to
Philly. There we hit things just right and got tickets to see
Independence Hall. We only had a 10 minute wait to get in to
see the Liberty Bell. And to top it all off the kids and grandpa got
to be in a re-enactment. We also learned if you ask the park rangers
they will give you historic trading cards. The kids loved collecting them,
They also have story benches in Philly and Valley Forge, where they tell the
kids stories. Then one more day of rest, kinda we usually did shopping on
our days we weren't sight seeing.

On the forth we decide to go see a firework show. Wow did we pick a good
spot the fireworks were right above us.

On their last full day with us we took the kids back to the lake to swim.
The first time I took them to lake we didn't plan on going there. So the kids
were only suppose to wade of course Sarah jumped in. In the pictures
you'll see the first trip and the second were they had swim suits.

I could spend all day writing about the many adventures we had,
like hitting a storm hit town in New Jersey, but this will do for now.

Here are the pictures.
