"The sweetest place of earth!"

...the infamous afternoon playing at Hershey Park. Yeah:) What fun!! Well this year, due to MY job and the weather, we didn't get to go to Hershey park until school had already started. @#$!Big mistake. Note to self: taking children to an amusement park after a full day of school is NOT the best idea. It's great...the girls earn their tickets every summer through a reading program. Since we went later in the season, we had perfect weather. Kimberly and Natalie even got to meet "Hershey" himself:) hahaha. Courtney was brave and went on every ride with her sisters this year! And Daddy found out his body isn't liking spinning as much... Thanks for the wonderful day together, girls. What a memorable time!

2009 First day of school!

Courtney, Kimberly and Natalie were ready bright and early this morning for their first day of school. Courtney (grade K) is attending Schaeffer Elementary School with Kimberly (4th grade) this year. Natalie is in 2nd grade, still at Nitrauer Elementary in the Spanish Immersion program. They love walking to the bus stops every morning with Daddy! It is a wonderful bonding time for everyone.

"Rain, rain...come and play."

Today the pool was closed sooo we decided to get wet outside in our swimming suits anyway:) It was rainning really hard and made this puddle fast. So the girls enjoyed running knee deep through it. They had the best time. Who needs a lifeguard when you have Mother Nature?

Sewing day.

When mommy was sick, Gaummie came with her pre-sewn material to finish sewing dress-up scarves (for all 9 granddaughters). She taught Kimberly and Natalie how to push out the corners and then turn them right-side out. They learned the proper way to stitch the end closed too. Finally, Kimberly ironed them to make the scarves look professionally finished! The dress-up scarves turned out beautifully. Thanks mom:)
