PA visit July 2009

It was soooo great to be able to go home to visit some family in PA....even if it was a "too Quick" trip. Mary and I drove with all five kids! How did Mom and Dad do it?! JK



Friday (July 24th) afternoon we went to Aunt Gracie's and visited with some of the family there (thanks Aunt Gracie for getting everyone together!!!).



The kids got to meet their cousin Owen, they had a lot of fun and didn't want to leave :)

Makes ya wonder what they are up to-huh?






It was a small gathering, but good to visit with family....Aunt Gracie and Uncle Harry, Aunt Karin and Uncle Dick, Theresa, Bev, Tom and Owen, Becky and Friend (sorry I forgot his name), Todd, Cheryl and Mary and I with our kids.








Saturday we hung out on the Morian side...we stayed with uncle Larry and Aunt Barb (thanks sooo much for giving us a place to stay :)!




There was a Birthday Party for Emma Morian (Adam's Emma)

Well...it was a short drive from Conneaut Lake, but a very long day at the Falls! We loved all the sites, and it was worth a little pain....Not sure about Mary, but I thought so! We didn't end up in Canada~even if I almost went across the boarder....we just put the Hazard Lights on and backed up...and drove against traffic....but we made it home safe, that is what counts-right?! Hey....I was tired and the Toll Road wasn't marked very well...and they don't give ya anywhere to turn around! Good Times!!!!
