Hello everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your summer. We are having a great summer so far. We just went to Pennsylvania for a week, on a camping trip. We stayed at a cute place, called Lake-in-Wood Camping Resort, right in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country.

We weren't sure how Abby would respond to camping life in the popup, but she LOVED it. In fact, her favorite thing to do was to climb up onto the bunk wing and roll off onto the bed below, and crawl back up to do it again and again.....endless entertainment! Not to mention that her PT would have been proud to see all that climbing. We sure were! :)

And Emily had a great time, too. Her favorite things about the trip were visiting Dutch Wonderland Amusement Park, having campfires, eating s'mores, and OF COURSE whoopie pies (which you can only find in Pennsylvania)...yummmmm....She liked the whoopie pies so much that she even made up a song about them...an ode to the whoopie pie, as sung by a 4 year old. :)

We tied this trip into an informal reunion with some of my college friends. We met up at the college, with all of our kids in tow. It was so nice to introduce Abby to everyone. And it was great to see Elizabethtown again, and to see all that has changed (which is a lot) and all that has remained the same (which was, in it's own way, comforting). I sincerely love my college friends, and am so grateful that we have continued to keep in touch throughout the years, making a point of getting together at least once a year. I think we are even thinking about a group camping trip to Knoebel's for next year. Should be fun.

Anyway, here are some pictures from our camping trip. Our campground had a gnome theme, which explains a couple of the pictures. Anyway, enjoy! :)
