Family Reunion

After 10 years of being away from the Boone Farm for family reunions we were thrilled to be back there this year. My cousin bought the farm from her Grandmother. It was neat seeing the place again and seeing what Amy and Brian have done to it to make it their home. We are so thankful for such a wonderful day. Enjoy the pics everyone! We are grateful to the Weissers for the last 10 years of hosting it and to Brian and Amy for this year!

PS I feel like Elliott felt when Daddy ditched him for Quoits. I have had SO much trouble trying to add , uh, close to 50 pics to this posting. I do not know how people can add so many large pics...any help from anyone out there--turbo lister type thing...this 5 at a time thing is killing me. I plan on finding a site where I can dump ALL the reunion photos and just add a link here. Any help in that matter too!?

A little over 7 months

Hershey Zoo

Kids love a zoo. So we bought the pass so we can go over and over again. It is far better than the ride at Chocolate World which is getting REALLY OLD about now. I am glad they have a new favorite spot.

Back to the Fair...

with Tyler and his family. They were in town for the funeral of our Aunt Sheila. It was a trying and very sad time for our family. I was so glad we were able to have most all of the family there.

Natalie turns 7

7 years ago, really!? Time sure flies. We had some of her girlfriends over to play games in the morning, and family in the evening for dinner and more play.

Lebanon County Fair

On the first day of the fair the kids enjoyed a clown. Creepy! They were good sports. She got Everett on the can of worms. Natalie LOVED her balloon horse thing--of course there were tears when the thing "died". She made Everett a balloon fishing rod and fish.

Pioneer Day

On July24th we celebrate the pioneers. The kids enjoyed the Primary Pioneer Day. They made their own butter--which was dang good! Amelie and Madeline met them there.

Uncle Jim takes the boys to a Reading Phillies Game

Everett LOVED his evening out with the boys. He enjoyed the game and fireworks. Uncle Lorin caught him a ball. He even outlasted Grandpa at the game--he napped on the way to the game and was awake during the ride home. Sorry the pics are so blurry.

Almost 7 months

Elliott LOVES bathtime!

Our "Prince"ess

Camp Invention...

was a hit. They created stuff with recycled junk. What could be more fun?! Not much to these 6 year olds.
