Frustrated with Blogger

While we were in North Carolina, my blog software stopped working. I have so many memories on there. Finally figured out that I now have to pay to blog. Geez … very frustrating but the blog has been restored! Hope you enjoy reading.

Crawfish Boil

Shannon, Arlo, Gale, and I traveled down to Burlington, North Carolina for the crawfish boil that Kiersten and Will were hosting. We just fit. Nothing else could be loaded!

We made the first leg of our trip to Harrisonburg with 2 stops. The first one was a Cacapon State Park to play in the playground. Thought it was for Arlo, but we all enjoyed it 🤣

We drove to James Madison’s Arboretum for a walk. Really nice way to stretch our legs. 

Next day we made it to our AirBnB in Burlington. Nice neighborhood. Can walk to their arboretum where we met Will, Kiersten and their 3 kids, Lucas, Sadie, and Maverick. Felt like we’ve always known them. The kids are amazing. 

Saturday was the crawfish boil. What an awesome experience. Will had rented a slip and slide for the kids … and big kids!

Meet the Silva's, Timothy, Erin and Kiersten

The slip and slide was a HUGE hit with everyone, not just the kids.

Anyone like some okra? Has a pretty flower

Arlo and Maverick bonded almost immediately. They both had so much fun. 

Once it got dark, Will built a fire for s’mores. Great way to end a wonderful day. 

Trip Home from Burlington

After packing suitcases (Shan had to borrow an extra one for Arlo’s log truck Winter and Kya bought him), Gale and I took them to the airport. 

On the way home, Gale and I stopped at the Natural Bridge in Virginia. 

We watched a couple otters play in the creek.

Nice walk to the bridge and the waterfall.

Stopped at Ken’s brother and sister-in-law for a overnight visit. Finished the rest of the trip on Tuesday. 

Lauren’s Tea Party

Lauren invited us to a tea party. She had a beautiful presentation of food and teas and little fasinators (hats), just like I think an English tea party would be. 

An exciting game of crochet was played. Time visiting with everyone was special and priceless.

 

Shan and Arlo came to visit

Shan and Arlo flew to State College Airport to spend a few days with us. The fun started right away. I had bought a Little Tykes car. Arlo spent a lot of time with that. He even ate in it!

We went to the Sunflower Maze in Mill Hall. 23 acres of sunflowers. Beautiful. Linda drove up to join us. 

Arlo’s favorite part was the trough filled with corn kernels. I joined him. 

A cookout with the Gresh family before we left for the crawfish boil.

someone was very tired.

Kya and Winter bought Arlo this log truck he LOVED it.
