Quick Weekend Trip

We had one last trip for the summer this weekend, before school starts.

Friday we headed to PA and stayed with Mike's friend from High School. They have boys that are about our boys ages, they love to go there and play. This is the first time they got to have a sleep over. The boys laughed and giggled and talked way past their bed time!

After the boys were in bed, but not asleep, we were able to play game with Troy and Delise. Usually we visit, the boys play and we leave. It was nice to have time with just the adults to play a game and be a bit goofy!

Saturday morning we went out to see the zip line that Troy installed.

Austin had a turn.....

Adam had a turn.....


Mike took a turn.....

and even I had a turn. I'm not usually on this side of the camera!


Then the boys thought it might be fun to go on it together!



We had a great time! (Adam's sad face is due to the fact that he wanted to Mike to push him on the zip line, but it was pushed a little too fast, and he got scared!) Thank you Dylan and Micah for letting us play!


Then we headed out to Grandma and Grandpa's for lunch and more play time.



As soon as Austin got out of the car he saw this mushroom, he thought it was pretty neat. I'm always glad when they find an interest in science.



Adam rode the Gator...


Austin rode the bike...

Then they would switch. So much fun!



After lunch we went for a ride in the golf cart around the block.

We had gotten to the first turn when Austin saw...


this beautiful deer.

Their block is about a 2 mile ride. It was a nice relaxing time.

One of the boys favorite things to do at Grandma and Grandpa's is to get a hammer and....


hit dead tree stumps. They do this about every time we are up there!


Then the boys got the walkie-talkies. They were going to play walkie-talkie hide and seek. But found it to be just as fun to talk on them. We had to laugh because the were within talking distance, but would use the walkie talkies. Then to top it off, they were both riding in the Gator, and talking to each other over the walkie talkies. At least they were having fun!

They rode the see-saw!

On the way home we often stop in Carlisle, PA at a military place. They have tanks, helicopters, and trenches are built. They even have buildings like the mess hall, chapel, and offices, but they were locked up this time.


This is the first time that we have seen the simulated people in the trenches.



Austin enjoyed acting out what they were suppose to be doing.



This is the helicopter that we saw from the road, how we knew this was there and decided to visit the first time.


This one is a newer display.


In the trenches.

This was a quick trip, but lots of fun!
