Backyard Fun

New Fun

We got a blue tandem kayak today, opening a whole new world of adventure for the boys.

Fourth of July - PA Style

We were in Pennsylvania for the Fourth of July this year. It was a whirlwind trip! We got front row seats at the parade in Warren. Nathan and Cole collected huge bags of candy.

Mathew took a little cat nap in Grandma Crossley's lap.

We camped at Chapman State Park. Mathew practiced his monkey skills with Grandpa Crossley on the playground near our campsite.

We also went geo-caching. Here's a pic of Nathan and Grandpa checking their GPS's and making sure we were on the right track.

Nathan and his cousin Cole... the big treasure hunters!

Mathew needed a little help through the woods... he's a treasure hunter in training!

Cousins! I snapped a whole bunch of these shots. This was the only one where everyone was looking in the same direction :)

Another highlight of our trip... tractor rides with Dad and Grandpa Harvey.

We also had fun at the beach. Nathan got into a water fight with Bill, his first cousin once removed.

Crops

We put in a vegetable garden this year. Nathan likes to walk out the garden with me and help me pull weeds. He checks out the progress of all the plants. Today we harvested a cucumber! Nathan found it a several days ago and has been checking it each time we visit the garden. He decided that today it was big enough to eat! It was delicious.
