Summer Vacation!

I love summer vacations! This year we went to visit family in Pennsylvania and packed our trip full of things we love to do in PA.

We rode bikes on a trail near Mark's Dad's house. Our trip included playing in the creek, riding through pouring rain, having to turn back eventually because the creek was covering the trail, being devoured by mosquitos, and loving the beautiful scenery.


Our next stop was Hershey Park, "the sweetest place on earth". Cala had a great time splashing around in the water and after she went home we had a great time riding the roller coasters. Or at least I did. As Mark put it right as we were getting on an especially scary roller coaster, "I'm only doing this because I love you!" What a sweetie.


Then we celebrated Cala's birthday a month early so we could have all our family there. Here's Cala licking a beater full of frosting.

The cupcakes (I definitely had beach on the brain).



Then last but not least, we went to the beach. It was heavenly! The weather was perfect, we got there early and stayed late. Cala loved it just as much as we thought she would!




Dave, the mer-man, wondering where his mermaid went...



We had a wonderful time. It was great to see our families! We'll be back soon!
