Our Week in Pennsylvania

At the beginning of August, we spent a week at Gramma and Grampa's in Pennsylvania for a visit.  As usual, we had a great time! We had a pretty good week of weather, so we went spent most of our time in the pool, which the girls just love!

 Avery showing off going backwards!

 

 

 We even got to swim with our cousin Braden for a little bit

 

 

 We stopped by The Sweesy's for a little while so the girls could jump off of their diving board.  They are fearless!

 

 Even Sierra jumped off without swimmies!

 

 Gramma had heard about a woman in town who breeds Miniature Horses so we went to check it out.  There were over 60 horses and they were so cute!  Avery loved every minute of it!  Sierra was more interested in the numerous cats running around.

 

 We stopped at Great Gramma and Great Grampa's house one day.   This is just a pretty picture of the girls in their backyard.

 While we were there, the Olympics were going on, which the girls were just obsessed with, so we had all kinds of Olympic Events going on in the pool.  Here are the girls and Gramma racing in the pool.  After that there was an attempt at synchronized swimming that didn't go so well :)

 

 Having some fun with Gramma and Grampa.  The next picture on my camera is of the girls under water after getting dumped off!

 

 We got to spend some pool time with our friends Aiden and Brady.  Here we all are enjoying some delicious watermelon.

One day was supposed to be overcast and rainy so we went to Pymatuning Deer Park where they have all kinds of animals and a petting zoo.  They had so many different animals.  It was a lot of fun!  After that we went to feed the carp at Pymatuning Lake which, as usual, it was pouring rain while we were there so I couldn't get any pictures.  But the carp were as hungry and as ugly as ever!

 The girls couldn't get over this little horse and how fat he was!

 

 Hanging out with a big reindeer

 

 They even had pony rides!

 

 

 

 

 Next olypmic event...Diving.  This was Avery's first attempt!

 

 Then it was on to Volleyball with Grampa and Aunt Jacey

 

 

 We went out to dinner at Quaker Steak & Lube.  The girls loved it because they have all kinds of cars and other vehicles hanging from the ceiling.  It was very cool!  On the way home we got hit with a pretty good downpour that let up by the time we got to Gramma and Grampa's house.  So Aunt Jacey ran inside to get some toy boats and the girls raced them down a stream running across the street from the house.  Apparently, Daddy used to do this for hours after a rain storm when he was a little kid.  The girls had a blast!

 And then waiting at the end to catch it before it went down the pipe

 

 Picture time....with Aunt Jacey & Uncle Paul...

 

...and with Gramma & Grampa.
