Ethan's pedal pull

Ethan was in the Pedal Pull at the Henry County Fair on Sunday (we drove all night home from Fredrick MD to be there for this!). Ethan is a little older, but since he only weighs 35 pounds he is still in the smallest class, good thing for him- he got 2 full pulls and then made it 27 feet to WIN his class- he was so excited to get a trophy!!! I think we have the video of his second full pull below and some may recognize the voice- Uncle Brian got to announce this year and did a GREAT job- he will be at Defiance Co Fair this next weekend!!

Gettysburg

Bye!!
All the kids hanging out with old Abe in front of the park museum- Hannah then proceded to hug and give him a kiss- it was kind of funny

Little Round Top on our tour of Gettysburg- after this trip there is definately NOT a Grand Canyon trip in this kid's future anytime soon- I finally understand why my mom was so nervous on our big family vacation as a child

Another climb to a lookout tower- the kids loved climbing!

Getting ready to leave our hotel- we are staying at gettysburg. Drove up to Hershey yesterday and did the tour, saw all the chocolate and bought cookies (had a buy one get one free coupon) and then left, it was crowded, a lot of people. We like Gettysburg, nice and quiet. Did the audio tour of the battlegrounds when we got back into town because all 3 kids were sleeping- they have been swimming and playing a lot down here. Today we leave and go to the Wedding in Fredrick, MD and then head home (watch out Uncle Mark we may be crashing at your house a few hours as the kids keep asking to see you since we skipped you on the way down!)

Enjoying summer- up date for Grumpy Gertie

Ethan can ride on 2 wheels now (and check out the new driveway/ garage in the background- the kids love it!!)
