grandma and grandpa's house...
When we were on our way home from Watkins Glen we took a pit stop at my Dad and Sarah's house... well what I didn't mention in that post is that we left the girls there that day (unplanned) . They were asked if they want to stay (because we were going back up the following Wednesday), and surprisingly they said yes. We has plenty of clothes for them considering were on our way home from camping. Grandma and Grandpa had a fun, but very tiring week. They did lots of stuff... including going to Knobels (a family amusement park). However-- when you ask them what they did, the #1 thing they tell you is that they got to drive Grandpa's tractor!!! Below is a picture of Allison driving it....
And now Katie!
Grandpa giving Kate some pointers....
Here Katie is crossing the driveway....
Grandpa broke out the medium tractor and we took a ride down to the end of the block.
For some reason I LOVE this picture of Allison and Richard, it made me smile when I downloaded it... Rich just looks so relaxed and happy... Allison had been telling stories of their days with Grandma and Grandpa.
Heading up to the fields....
Loved the one dark cloud hanging out over the barn.
Heading back now with Allison helping to drive!
We played mini-golf at a new place close to their house.
"Daddy I need help!"
Allison lost her ball in the water and Rich helped her retrieve it... he is sooooo patient :)
Allison was Grandma's little helper.
(just playing with my new lens :)
This was the door to a Pizza place we had lunch at... LOL (I was skeptical, turns out pizza was good!)
On Thursday we headed over to the Binghamton Zoo, we had gone a few years back... but it was time for a re-visit. It was a little disappointing, because there weren't too many animals :(
my little monkey :)
We saw this cool tree tipped over in the woods, Grandpa took his girls up to check it out....
Grandma and Richard.
Thanks for a great visit... the girls are already talking about next year :)

Annual camping trip...
There are sooooo many pictures that I am going to be splitting it into a few different posts. This year were went to Watkins Glen (Seneca Lake). It was really nice up there...
We took a walk along the breakway...
Allison just wasn't in the mood to cooperate...lol
We went down to the pool at the campground nearly everyday... it was nice and big.
Allison and her Pop Pop are pretty tight... neither one knew I was taking these pics. :)
The pool had 3 spring boards that put you in the 16ft deep end... Allison first...
Then Kate!
The huge pine trees at the campground were amazing...
We celebrated Gretchen's birthday on the 26th (don't have a picture) and Nancy's Birthday on the 27th! Pop baked both a cake!
Smores makin'
We played G rated "truth and dare".... with the kids and all... it was pretty funny when Gretchen was dared to ride Allison's bike around the campsite!
Katie was using my point and shoot camera for most of the week.
Sleepy head Allison.... I don't think she got out of bed before 9:30am any of the mornings.
Jacob, Emily and Katie!
A calf we spotted on the side of the road... (thanks to Bob for stopping so I can take pics!)
So... we usually go horseback riding while we are camping at North Lake. Gretchen tried to find something close to where we were... she found "Top Rock Stables". It sounded good... however when we finally found it, not so good. Thank goodness they were closed, because I am not sure I would have wanted to use their equipment!
