We are back!

We have been back for a week from our annual trip to Lake Wallenpaupack in Hawley, Pennsylvania! Sorry we havn't posted, but we've been enjoying our week together before the kids head off to South Carolina with my parents to visit with Cole & Carter and to go to Zoo Camp. What a crazy summer it has been so far!!!

Last Monday (7/6) we spent the day swimming at Meme and Pepe's swimming pool. The water was a bit cold since the nights have been a little chilly--heck, the days really haven't felt like summer yet either! Even though the water was cold, the kids had a grand old time!
On Tuesday (7/7) we ran a few errands to get Christopher ready for Cub Scout camp in a few weeks. Then we had lunch at Friendly's--which is always a favorite place for the kids! Then we went home to get a few things done. On Wednesday (7/8) we saw the movie a Tale of Despereaux. (We totally recommend the Wednesday Summer Movie Camp program at the Loews Theatre in Plainville! 10am children's movie is $1.00 and a children's snack pack was $3.00! For more info and additional AMC Theatres that participate around the country click HERE.) It was a super cute movie. I think Despereaux is such a cute little mouse! Next we were off to the 75% off Bookstore in town--which is another favorite place for the kids! Then the kids went home with Meme and spent the afternoon with her!

On Thursday (7/9) we spent the day coloring, reading and writing a book report as we finished up packing for the kids trip to South Carolina.

On Friday (7/10) we headed off to Lake Compounce for lunch and summer fun! It was a great day! The kids had fun riding on some kiddy rides together, and having fun in the water park. Then before we left, Christopher got a frog tatoo and Anneli got her face painted (like a princess--that's a crown on her forehead!). What a great way to end the week!
Then the kids headed off with Meme, Pepe and Aunt Val at about 9:30pm for their long drive to South Carolina! They were excited!
Whatever will we do with the kids gone for a whole week....
