PA

I know it's really summer when the car is packed and we head out on a road trip. Well, this year I took the trip without Troy. The kids and I piled into the van and headed out for Pennsylvania. Yes, it was a long trip. Wes was still nursing about every 2 hours so we had to stop often, but I think it actually was better for all of us. Our first stop was in Hershey, PA. We met Sandy, Megan, Natalie, and Heather for some girl/kid fun. We had a really great time!Her are just a few of the pics!

Annie's first official ride of any sort!! She was a little apprehensive at first but absoulutely loved it!

Bren being a good sport for his sister!

After Hershey, we caravaned down to DuBois, PA to spend a few days with my Grammy. Papa joined us there for some much needed Papa time! To those of you who don't know, Dubois is in the middle of nowhere and Grammy lives on what used to be a lot of land. The kids have free reign and can go almost anywhere. This year a bear had been giving Grammy some trouble, so the kids had to stay close. HOWEVER, Brenden still managed to climb on the roof!!! I was at the movies while Papa had all three for the first time (it's tough people). Anyway, while Bren was on his little adventure he managed to get stung by a bee. No biggy, but really never a dull moment when the Camarata's are near!

This is the highlight of Bren's trip to PA! He got to ride with Papa on his bike. He loved it and can not stop (much to this mama's dismay) talking about which bike he plans to buy when he's old enough. We continue to discuss just how old is "enough"!

Grammy with all 3! It is amazingly hard to get all 3 to smile or even look at the camera at the same time!

It was a long trip back by myself and I've learned something new about each one of my children...Bren will climb anything he can, Annie can not be rushed at a rest stop unless you want to make another trip 15 minutes later, and Wes is pretty easy going right now! An amazing trip!
