Thanks Aunt Paula!

Bill's aunt Paula sent Gus the best birthday present ever.  It continues to out-shine all other present and he just fell asleep in my arms because he was racing around the family room for the last half hour with the present she sent.

I tried to get some pictures, but he was moving so fast I didn't have a ton of luck!





It has wheels, it make noise.  What could be better?
Thanks again!

Our PA trip: Part 4

After all the pictures we took at Idlewild, our picture taking basically dropped off.  We left PA Wednesday afternoon, and here are the few pictures we took our final days there.

Our last days in PA were HOT.  So, we got out the splash pad and cooled off.



Before we left we went down to the farm to see Mimi and Pops.


And that is all the pictures of our trip to PA!  

It was a wonderful trip.  We have a week at home before we head out on another trip to Michigan.  Lots of time in the car, but it is worth it!

Our PA trip: Part 3, adventure at Idlewild

We had one day to relax after the wedding, and then on Monday we paced up and headed to Idlewild, a kid-focused amusement park that Bill and his cousins visited often when they were children.

On Sunday we went and helped get rid of some extra wedding food...and Gus played with the bride.

Uncle Jason and Aunt Amy won some major Gus points when they brought the 4-wheeler down to take Gus on a few rides.


And then on Monday we headed to Idlewild!

It was a fun fun fun day!  And Gus did so good.  We cruised right through his nap and he just kept on trucking!  He was a little silly when we got in the car at the end of the day, but was peacefully asleep in no time at all!

Our PA Trip: Part 2, the Wedding

Okay, so my husband is becoming quite the photographer.  He took LOTS of pictures at the wedding, and lots of them turned out really nice, so I am just going to post all of them.  Sorry if you find this post a little overwhelming.  To Bill's family: PLEASE, STEAL ALL THE PICTURES YOU WANT!  I will upload them as big as possible so there is a good resolution once you steal them.
