Time Spent at Mimi and Pop's

Auntie Meggie decided to go to Mimi and Pop's house for an extended vacation, and we decided to join them. We could not go for as long, because it was Tommy and my anniversary, but we went from Wednesday till Friday.

On Wednesday, we no sooner got there, then we packed the kids up and headed to World's End State Park. It was a spur of the moment trip, that was tons of fun. We stopped at the Forksville Store and got their world famous hoagies. From there we made our way to the park to enjoy a
picnic.





We then took the kids down to the water and let them wade through the less dangerous parts. Mimi is wonderful when it comes to letting the kids be kids and experience things. Pop on the other hand gets paranoid about EVERYTHING!!! I guess Mimi and Pop have different ways of showing their love for their grandkids.





After wadding, we took the girls down to the swimming hole. I had to feed Jacks, as he was sleeping most of the time, and Em went out to the water with Ellie, Auntie, Mimi, and Pop. After I fed Jacks, I joined the gang down at the water, while Mimi held Jacks and tried putting him back to sleep for me. The water was cold...but Em and El enjoyed it.



We headed home after the wonderful impromptu picnic, and rested for a few minutes before taking the kids swimming at the Country Club with the Maeulen's. We always say that Em is not afraid of anything...she is definitely not afraid of water!! She loves to swim. I don't know how many times she went under water, but she has no fear.

On Thursday, we woke up and got the kids ready to go to Knoebel's. Someone gaves us free tickets, and the girls loved it!!!




They rode all the rides at least 2 times. El even put her hands in the air to enjoy them a bit more. There was only 1 ride I rode with Em...the rest she was on her own, or rode with her big (cousin) sister.




Pop walked Jackson around most of the park while he slept. Everyone says what a good little baby he is, and I would have to agree.


The day was finished off with another trip to the pool with the Maeulen's, and all kids were pooped by the end of the two days. Jackson slept wonderfully at night, while his sister skipped naps and was an early riser. For a two year old not going on much sleep...she did great!!

As usual, we had a blast at Mimi and Pop's house!
