Grandparents Day at DCS

Grammy and Papa Brownlee at school with the girls.

Grammy visited Shelby's class while Papa went with Colesy.

Every year DCS hosts Grandparents Day.  Grandparents are invited to visit the school.  There is a program and then classroom visitation, and the a homemade soup luncheon is served.  It is a fun day for everyone, and it sure wipes us all out too! :) (At least it did me!)

Our old House... with Ike damage

I guess a picture is worth more than words, so here are pictures of our old house after Hurricane Ike "slammed" Pennsylvania!  

Just a couple random pictures that were given to me.  Summer fun...

Colesy is now "FANG LADY" . . .

whahahahaha (evil laugh)

She had Matt pull it out down by the fire tonight (about 20 minutes ago.)  She was so brave and said it didnt even hurt! What a monkey.  She said it feels like she has fangs now.

Waiting to load the bus to take us up the river.

Colesy's turn to paddle.

And Shelby's. They did a great job! 

I tried to get all 4 of us at once.  It's hard in a long, skinny boat!!

Camping

Hanging out at the camp fire before dinner. (we ordered pizza!)

By the way, if you think this looks familiar, it IS our backyard!  

That is as close to camping as I can do!  Yes, I'm pathetic, I know.  

The girls playing in the tent. Apparently that is the best part of camping.  

The creek at the lovely "campground".  The tent is behind me in this picture.
