We have so much to catch up on. We are on a vacation with my parents. It has been a long fun week. Today was awesome, because we hit up Sesame Place and got to meet Elmo. Stevie had a great time. He rode some rides, watched a live version of Elmo's world, and bought way to much stuff. We only did about half of the park before crankiness rolled in.
On our way to Grandma McFarland's, we have hit Valley Forge. Steve was jealous when I told him that. Right now, we are staying in Lancaster. Abbie has a very cute Amish bonnet now. My kids are growing so fast. Abbie is sitting up in high chairs and stealing big people food. She learned how to drink from a straw in the last few days. Still hasn't figured out the sippy cup. Stevie is talking in sentences and asking "what's that?" I blinked and they just got smarter.
Some of the other things we have done, we went to Philadelphia yesterday and saw the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Stevie started doing cannonballs into the swimming pool. That is just the first part of the PA tour. We did a bunch in New York last week.

New York Week One
So last week was both kids first plane rides and I will never take a red eye again. Grandpa was trying to get me to check the car sears and the strollers to make it easier to go thru security. Made him a little upset when refused, but I reminded him he wasn't planning on carrying any kids plus the small luggage store I had to carry. II was not about to give up my wheels. Plus if either of those car seats got lost, I sure didn't want to go buy a new one. We made it in one piece after a very exhausting night with only 3 hours if sleep.
Niagara Falls was fun, and yes honey, we did go to the Canada side. I was threatened bodily harm if we didn't go to Canada after the pain of getting passports. Stevie really loved the water and the falls were beautiful.
Saturday we watched my beautiful cousin Emily marry Zack. It was a fun time and got to see a lot of family. As soon as the reception was over, it started to downpour. We got stuck under the tent. After 15 minutes of that rain, the groom and his buddies turned the backyard into a slip-n-slide. What was great is Stevie deciding to join them. That poor kid got soaked, but he had such a good time.
Monday was grazing at Grandma's. I got to see Kala since she was home on her deployment. The only people we missed this fun filled weekend were my husband and brothers. It was so nice that we got to see everyone else.
Tuesday was on our way to Pennsylvania. Before we left we had one more stop to make with the kids. One of my memories growing up was when we'd visit Grams for the summer, we always went fruit picking. Mostly berries, but I do remember doing peaches once. We took the kids strawberry picking. Stevie had a great time and kept taking a bite out of one then putting in his bucket. We had quite a few half eating strawberries. And just to make Grams happy, I let Abbie go to town on a strawberry. Boy, that girl can eat and she did love it.
