Awesome Adventures - August 2016

Awesome Adventures with Ryder and Logan - August 2016

The month of August began with our California adventure to Uncle JT's and Aunt Kaela's wedding

Look for more about this Awesome Adventure in a post in a few days.  Suffice it to say...we had a BLAST!

Ryder and his family attended a 
J-E-T-S 
Jets! Jets! Jets! 
preseason football game.

We spent countless hours at Merrill Park before the big move.

 

Some of Logan and Ryder's favorite activities are wading in the little stream that runs through the park ...

And going on slide races ...

The day would not be complete without stopping at the local Dairy Maid for ice cream treats before nap.

I took this picture of the boys on our last day at Merrill Park.  So many happy memories were made here.  We will have to find a new favorite park when they move to their new home.

We will also be sad to be so far away from the Ponderosa Spray Park in Scotch Plains.

Getting ready for the BIG MOVE by helping Daddy, Grandad and Haha try to move the slide/swing/playhouse.

Ryder playing some tunes in his almost empty house.

We took a little break from all the packing and moving to sit and relax with the rice box.

The next Awesome Adventures with Ryder & Logan post will be pictures after Ryder & Logan and their parents, Kyle & Heather, move in with us while awaiting their new home.  
Now, that should prove to be a really AWESOME ADVENTURE!

Until Next Time.....Happy Stitching!!!

Awesome Adventure to Hershey Park 2016

Hershey Park 2016

We went on our annual 

Hershey Park

trip from July 21-24.

We always go in conjunction with 

Quilt Odyssey.

We stayed in the beautiful

Hershey Lodge.

Our first stop was 

Water Works at Hershey Lodge.

Swimming was a favorite activity...

We love Hershey's Chocolate World

Still a Hershey Kiss and a Hershey Miniature

Maybe next year we will be a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and a Hershey Kiss...

The rides in the park were so much FUN!

As were the water attractions.

We love the characters.

We really enjoyed touching the snake at the zoo...

And spending lots of time with Uncle JT

and Aunt Shea...

We can't wait to go back next year!

Hershey Park 2017...Here we come!

Until Next Time.....Happy Stitching!!!
