Visiting Lancaster County

 Hanging out with Aunt Janie.

 Madeline playing with her cousin Sophie.

Playing with cousin Cooper.  He's such a cutie!

 Ben's first visit to Chocolate World at Hersheypark!

 The free ride at Chocolate World, with Aunt Katie and Sophie.  All the kids had a good time.

 At first it was hard to tell if Ben liked the ride.

 He was so quiet and serious.  But as soon as the ride was over he asked to go on it again!  And that was before the free chocolate at the end.

 With Nana at Aunt Janie's house.  We spent a lot of time there.

 Relaxing at Chris and Rachel's house.  They  were unbelievably kind to us and invited us to stay at their house for the week.  It was so much better than staying at  a hotel.

 
My parents sold their house and the closing was during the week we were there.  But their friends Terri and Tony from the old neighborhood invited us to bring the kids over to use their pool.

It was Madeline's first time in a pool.  She did not like the sun.

She was fine as long as Mike kept her in the shade.  Ben had a blast with his floaties and the pool noodles.

All the sun and pool time wore out both of the kids.

Photos from the family get-togethers coming!
