I have to get all these blogs caught up because we didn't have internet for most of the trip. We have been home for almost two weeks now, and boy it was good to get home. As much fun as we had and all the new adventures, it was a long two weeks.
We finished up in Pennsylvania by going through old pictures. I did get the old family bible that I have wanted for years and a ton of the old pictures. Stevie got to go to Gardner's candy and get all his penny candy. We ended up at a park down in Tyrone were Stevie finally got to play on a real slide. There was a nice creak that we got to splash in. Stevie and I even tried catching the little minnows. Abbie even took a little dip in the creek but relaxed with Grams while Stevie and I played.
Heading back to New York was a good thing. We spent the night at Connie's and got to eat something else besides steak! We had chinese. It was heaven to take a real shower and sleep in a comfortable futon, all to myself. Stevie is a kicker! So while I was in the shower, Mom and Connie took Stevie for a walk down to the park. They came back completely soaked. We finished up by going down to the creek behind Connie's house. Stevie jumped in that creek, tennis shoes on and everything. This whole trip, my mother was determined to keep his tennies soaked, even though I brought water shoes and sandals. His shoes spent a lot of time in the dryer.
Our last day at Grams was an easy day. We just hung out and packed up. Stevie got to play in the "swimming pool." We got out a big bowl and just let him splash. The night ended with a rain storm that Stevie wanted to play in. Grandma took him into the rain to play. It was a great way for him to get his nightly shower.
