Trip to PA: Thursday Evening

On Thursday afternoon, we loaded everything up and off we went to PA for three days to visit family! Now that we live 40 minutes closer to our family in PA, it was a pretty quick drive, and would have been quicker if we didn't hit a little Harrisburg traffic.

We arrived right at 5pm and the girls did great in the car. No whining at all! 

We ate dinner and then went down to the garden to pick snow peas, raspberries and beets.

It was SO hot and humid. The girls ran around on the Penn State campus soccer fields (which is right next door), while Mommy picked raspberries and Daddy and Uncle Russ hung out picking snow peas and beets.

To say they were all so warn out and so thirsty after coming back to the garden was an understatement!

The helpers!

Emily enjoyed snoozing in Great-Aunt Bonnie's arms...

Great-Nana and Natalee

 They all enjoyed eating and chewing on fresh sugar snap peas...

We headed back to the house and gave the girls baths. They were FILTHY! The tub was covered in dirt and grass...but all that told me was they had a lot of fun!

They played a little and off to bed they went. We stayed up and chatted and right after going to bed, Madelynn and Claire woke up in panic mode. They screamed, screamed, SCREAMED, and were completely crazy. Seriously, Tim even said that he had never seen them so upset. Lashing out on the floor and uncontrollable for over an hour. Luckily with Aunt Bonnie to help, we got them back to sleep until the morning. I know they were just a little freaked out when they woke up and weren't in their own room. Poor babies. I hate seeing them like that, but the next morning, the were all smiles! Natalee and Emily slept through the whole thing! Praise Jesus!

Stay tuned for Friday's Post...ya know, since there are like a billion photos, I had to break it down into numerous posts....
