One Crazy Summer continued....

Grandma Vegas made in home safe and sound on July 15th. We then packed up our trailer and headed out to PA to visit Grandma and Grandpa on July 18th. We arrived pretty late in the afternoon because of some traffic (ugh). We set up the trailer in the driveway- and waited for Grandpa to get off work. When we saw the Dump Truck drive by and heard the horn... we knew to get ready and pick him up. The girls were so excited to see him!! When we got home Grandma had prepared a wonderful dinner for us. We hit the sack pretty early- since we were tired from the trip up. I have been wanting to visit the Corning Glass Museum for a while... and on Thursday that is exactly what we did. We made the two hour drive up to Corning, NY and got there just in time for the girls to sign up for a workshop- they chose to make their own hand-blown christmas ornaments. It was so interesting to learn and see how to blow glass. The girls got to chose between either a ball or a teardrop shape, the color / colors that they wanted and whether or not the colors were speckled or swirled. Both picked a swirled teardrop... Katie's being purple, violet and white.... Allie's being orange, yellow and red. They came out beautiful!!! I hope they become keepsakes and end up being on the respective christmas trees forever. When we got home we waited for friends of Grandma and Grandpa to arrive for a short visit. When they got there we headed to town to get some pizza. The girls were really excited because when they got home we got to have the annual ride on Grandpa's firetruck! Grandpa took us a new route and showed us around Heart Lake. It was an action packed day and wiped us out. The next morning we went down to Scranton to visit the "famous" Houdini Museum. That seriously can be a whole blog in itself. It felt like were held hostage for 3 hours!! On the way home we stopped to eat at Grandma and Grandpa's favorite restaurant Mamasitas for some really good Mexican food, followed up by ice cream at Antols. We headed home on Saturday and geared up for the annual camping trip to North South Lake.
