Our Trip with the Herrings to Connecticut!

The Creamery

We had the most fabulous week last week!!! We went on vacation, just kids and mommies, with the Herring clan to Connecticut! Our daddy was of course out of town again so it seemed like the perfect thing to do! The Herrings came into town on Monday and we spent some time at our pool, Cannon loved the slide! And then of course every visitor has to make the trip to the Creamery!!! We packed the kids up bright and early Tuesday morning and set out for Easton, PA and the Crayola Crayon Factory. The kids had a ball and no trip there is complete with out the Canal Museum!! LOL.... But Danielle and I both decided that a better name would be the Crayola "Craft Center" been there, done that, don't need to do it again!!

 After lunch we headed for CT. Of course my dear friend felt the need to take me over one of the world's scariest bridges, the GW bridge into Manhattan, and that is where our 2hour trip from Crayola to CT turned into a 4 hour trip!! Yikes!!! The kids were troopers... only had to stop in the Bronx to feed makes. Danielle and I were dying of laughter!!!  Probably not the best part to pull over with a car load full of kids!!

The Workmans, Justin, and the Herrings

Wednesday was a trip to NYC!!! I LOVED it. I am a city girl.  I need to bring Aaron back and really explore. We met up with our good friend from elemtary school and high school team mate, Justin Tarquino. We told the kids that they could call him many things. But once they heard that they could meet Tarq the Shark, that was it. They were sold! We ate on Mars and the kids loved it!! Molly may not have been too sure about the aliens, but that's what Grandma Goetz's lap is for! We then toured Times Square, Toy's R Us, and Rockafeller Center. Molly loved seeing "her girls" at Toys R Us and riding the ferris wheel! She did such a great job and Macon was such a good boy, like always!  To top off a super day the kids went slip n sliding!! They LOVED it!! and if walkign NYC didn't tire them out enough... that sure as heck did!!!

Times Square

Thursday was a relaxing day at Grandma Goetz's beach!! The kids got burried, played in the water, ate ice cream and fought like only brother and sister can!!! They totally have a love hate relationship. One minute they are fighting like cats and dogs the next they are "where's my cannnon?" To reload our tanks we went out for an awesome pizza dinner! Molly ate 4 pieces.. yes 4!!! I ate 2 to put it in perspecitive for you Pap Pap (Danielle's dad) ate 3. The girl loves her pizza!!!

How many pieces did she eat!!!!?

Siting the the hog!

Molly and Macon's First Movie

We finally made it to Toy Story 3!! Molly has LOBED the Toy Story movies since she was very little. So when we heard that TS3 was coming out it was a no brainer that that would be Molly's first movie. She was an excellent audience member! She was mezmorized the entire time. Macon did a pretty decent job and Molly contines to see characters from the movie and ask if we can see it again. :)

Of course Woody and Buzz had to come too!

Swimming in July

What a wonderfully fun month! We have had lots of visitors, partly because Daddy has been so busy with work that Mommy has recruited people to come hang with us!!  Fourth of July weekend was super fun! Aunt Jessie and GP were both here to visit. And GP went with us to watch State College fireworks. Not as great at the Pittsburgh ones. But Molly and Macon still loved watching them. We have continued to swim so much!! Molly is nonstop in the pool from the moment we get there until I have to drag her out teeth chattering. She recently decided that she needed to wear goggles and asked to wear mommy's. So proud of my daughter in Sweeds!!
