VISITING PA

We had a visit with our relatives in PA a few days ago! We went to visit Dave's Grandmother, Aunt and Uncle, and cousins. Ben had a blast with the kids as did Maaike! It was so great to see everyone. Since moving to NC, we don't see our relatives as often as we used to, and we really miss them all. It was so refreshing to see our loved ones!

We started our visit with a trip to an All You Can Eat ice cream festival.

Ben in heaven eating ice cream!

Daddy snuggling with his little girl!

Caroline (Dave's first cousin, mother of the 4 cousins!) and Maaike.

All of us posing with the ice cream cups that we all ate! We made it to 100 cups between all of us (and another family I think)!

Caleb, Ben, Bekah, Bee, Sarah and Morgan (not a cousin, a friend of Sarah)

Hannah pushed Maaike home!

Ben also did a lot of playing outside on his bike or their scooter with the kids.

We began our July 4th with a parade! Ben loved watching the people and vehicles in the parade and he loved getting the candy that was thrown his way!
Maaike and her Great Grandmom!

Aunt Chris and Uncle Bud joined in the fun with their dog, Maggie. Ben loved her!

Bekah and Maaike

Great Grandmom with her oldest and youngest great granddaughters!

Ben plugged his ears when the firetrucks came by blowing their horns!

After the parade, we headed over to Aunt Bette Ann and Uncle Tom's house to swim and eat!

Ben loved their John Deere tractor once he got up the guts to get on it with Dave.

This is Ben being sad when he had to get off of the John Deere

The 6 cousins all together!

Great Grandmom with all of her great grandchildren!!! (She will have 3 more by January! NONE OF THEM WILL BE OURS!!!)

Aunt Chris and Uncle Bud sent this shirt down for Maaike and I forgot that I brought it with us until the morning we left! Dave, being a Michigan fan, would not choose this shirt for his daughter to model! Caleb had on his Penn State shirt so I was able to document it before we left!

We had such a great time visiting our Eastern PA family! We miss you all and had a wonderful time with all of you!
