I am sure some of you are wondering where we have been!! We took a vacation to Pa! We were gone July 31st through August 9th. We had a great but busy time! David and I managed to squeeze two dates in while we had babysitters. We were looking forward to that for a LONG time! I think it is the climate change, as always, we came home with sick kids. Treyton and Rissa especially. Treyton is already on an antibiotic for an ear infection and I fear Rissa will be next. Thanks to everyone who made our trip memorable and for making sure we never went hungry! It is always fun to be with family and we are thankful for all of them!
We started our trip by spending the weekend at a cabin with David's family in the beautiful mountains of Virginia!

The Kiddos had a blast being together again!
Our families had not seen Treyton since he was four weeks old (he is five months now), so he got lots of attention! I don't think he minded! (:
Here he is being loved by Aunt Anita.
She willingly gave us her house to use during our stay- Thanks!!
Everyone would get quite carried away in this game!
Aunt Anita took some of the kiddos for a walk, their legs got tired, so Aunt Mance helped to bring them back.
The weather was beautiful, so we ate all our meals on the spacious porch.
A major project that we did with David's family while in Pa was corn. I wish I had a picture of the pile before we started. We froze 72+ quarts!
Taking a break with Grandpa Summy. The kiddos love to get rides on Grandpa's 4 wheeler!
Even Rissa helped for awhile!
After we were finished and everything and everyone was cleaned up, we went out for soft ice cream. That was a treat for our girls (and us) since we don't have ice cream places here!
One hot afternoon, Aunt Mance set up a water-slide for the kids. They had a blast!
We spent one day in Lancaster to do some visiting. My Parents and Sister went too.
We visited "Grandma" Edna Stoltzfus who used to live here in SC. doing prison ministry, till her husband "Grandpa" Steve passed away from cancer.
The girls enjoyed seeing "Cocoa" again too!
We also visited my Grandparents. They got to meet Treyton for the first time. If I remember correctly, he is 24 of their 26 great-grandchildren.
Singing with Great-Grandma.
Chillin' with Grandpa Heisey
Another day we went to visit my brother Parke and his family. They live in Lock Haven PA. We had fun!
Rissa, not so sure about the new farm surroundings!
Unlike Rissa, Amber and Jenny had a blast in the barn!
I think Rissa enjoys plastic cows better! (:
We were going to miss cousin Trista's first birthday, so we gave her a gift early.
Now that Trista is walking, her and Rissa had fun playing together!
