Trip to Pennsylvania

Sam and I had talked about taking a trip up to P.A. to visit his grandparents, but weren't sure when we could...and then we got an invitation to a friend's wedding that's only an hour and a half from where Pop and Gram live! Perfect opportunity!!!

Sam worked half a day on Wednesday, and we flew up that evening and got into Harrisburg at about midnight, and drove the two hours to Williamsport and crashed into a hotel room, slept in, ate breakfast, and then went to Pop and Gram's at about 10:30! :)

Samuel's Uncle Randy and his family were able to drive out and spend the day! It's always fun to see them!!!
We visited, played ladder golf, and talked some more, and eat some very delicious food that Gram and Naomi cooked!!!

setting up the ladder golf...



I think Pop and Gram's back porch is the cutest thing!!!


Discussing if we knew the rules or not...I had never played before, so I"d believe anything they'd tell me! :)

So they decided to look them up to make sure! :)


Gram, Daniel, Naomi, Gabriel, Jordan, Phoebe, Anna, and Sarah

After ladder golf, we sat around and talked till Caleb got there, then the guys and the little girls played monkey-in-the-middle and the rest of us sat and watched and talked!






The nest day was filled with visiting and playing card with Pop and Gram...we talked about everything from child discipline to politics to old family stories and more...unfortunately, this was the only picture I got of us...


the evening, we skyped with the family back home!



Then with Bekah and Danny...


...he was asleep, but was still cute! :)




Saturday was Ben's wedding in Galeton

Sunday was the sad day that we had to say good bye..... :'(
As we were walking out the door, I realized that I didn't have a pic of all four of us together, so we grabbed one really quick!
