Summer Vacation: A Photographic Guide

We've been in PA for the past 2 weeks. By we, I mean the kids and I. John still has to work. So I took all 4 on the plane by myself. It wasn't the first time, and it wasn't that bad.

Smooth sailing once JA fell asleep. He loved looking out the windows.

Anna is a great seat mate. She is quiet and never uses the arm rests.

Stealth photo of Abigail. She was playing with her DS.

Our row. Anna sat on the aisle in the row behind us. I was so proud of her!
And Abigail was awesome about helping with JA, too. 

  

Guess who didn't really sleep on the plane? Uh-huh.

 Our days are filled with grandparents and great-grandparents, homemade cookies and cupcakes, dog slobber, and allergy medicine.

"Cookie" Grandma... the great-grandma.

Mimi, the grandma who's great.

Baron on the left, Dante on the right. Trouble in the middle.

This girl is drooling like crazy lately.

Spiral staircase= perfect seat and table for a 5 year old.

Sisters are the best friends. Except when they aren't.

Cookie Grandma is the official baby rocker in our family.

Mimi and her babies. Baron loves to nap with the kids!

Jump!

Fall!

Honestly, it's so beautiful.

I love the country. Except for the part where it smells like, um, "livestock bathrooms"

It was windy and the clouds were amazing
