New Playhouse, Mt Vernon, Nonna’s Visit

Here are several from the last couple of weeks.  We have a new playhouse in the backyard that the kids enjoy.  We visited the Colonial Fair at Mt. Vernon last weekend and enjoyed playing in the straw, watching a colonial-era magic show, eating gingersnap cookies, and watching the Revolutionary War soldiers “fire” their guns.  Nonna also visited a couple of weeks ago.

Iowa!

We visited relatives in Iowa last weekend.  We went to the State Fair, toured the Capital, visited a circa 1900 farm, and had a wonderful time.  We also welcomed a new kitty into our family on Saturday.

Late July

Several recent photos – playing in the backyard, Nonna’s visit, and our trip to Pennsylvania during which we visited the Wilbur Chocolate Factory and made chocolate mice, played in the Lititz Springs Park and then ate the chocolate mice, visited the Toy Train Museum, and visited the Philadelphia Zoo.
