We had a busy weekend trying to squeeze in as much as we could since Shaun, my dad and Valerie were only going to be here for the weekend and will head back to Connecticut for work on Tuesday.
On Saturday, we got here early enough to check in to our Resorts and then go shopping. After shopping, we explored the lake a bit and then the kids crashed! They were happy when they woke up the next morning and saw that Cole and Carter had arrived while they were sleeping! Here are some pictures from Christopher's camera! He's quite the photographer!
My parents bought the kids and Pepe matching outfits. Even Anneli was dressed like one of the boys!
On Sunday, we explored the lake a bit. Then we swam and enjoyed a picnic by the pool which overlooked the gorgeous lake. After swimming, we decided to take a 3 mile hike around Lake Wallenpaupack. The kids did a great job walking, and walking! We even found a bunch of wild blueberries at the very end of our hike! There were TONS of them. They were super YUMMMMY!! Here are some more of Christopher's photos of our hike!
One of the many rocks that HAD to be climbed!!!
Today, we took a daytrip that was outlined in a book from the resort that Shaun and I are staying at. We started out with a picnic at The Promised Land State Park in Blooming Grove. We may go back there later this week to rent boats and swim in the lake there. It's a great Park!! Next we got back on the road and headed to Callie's Candy Kitchen. There we bought some super yummy candy! Then we were off down the road a bit to Callie's Pretzel Factory. There, we watched pretzels being made. Anneli had to wait the entire 6 minutes for the Pretzels to come out of the oven. She loved it! Then we all bought fresh soft pretzels to eat! Super yummy! Christopher and Cole got pretzels shaped like dollar signs. Anneli and Carter got Pretzel sticks. No matter the shape, they were delicious!

We are having a great time and are looking forward to making more memories this week together! We'll miss you Daddy (Shaun), Pepe, Aunt Valerie, and Wink!! We'll see you guys (except Wink) on Thursday evening when you all come back for more summer family fun!!
**Thanks Christopher for letting me post some of your pictures! I took a bunch but will upload them to my desktop and make my annual slideshow when I get home!
