We decided to kick-off Harrison's summer break with a family adventure. We packed our suitcase and didn't tell the boys what we had planned for the next couple of days. Our first stop was breakfast at Cracker Barrel (I think every road trip should include this step!) There, we revealed that we were headed for Crystal Cave and assured Sawyer that there wouldn't be any bears ;)
It was pouring rain when we arrived - so we were the only ones there! We got a private tour of the cave and saw a sleeping bat on the way out!
From there it was off to The Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos. Our experience wasn't as positive as when we stayed at the one in Williamsburg, Virginia, but overall, it was a fun stay! I don't think you need more then one night there, especially when you are almost 6 months pregnant!
I wish I could use these magic wands to make my boys stop fighting and whining!
On Friday afternoon we went to see UP! I wasn't sure it would live up to all the hype, but it was FANTASTIC!Finally, this morning it was off to Camp-Men-O-Lan for some fishing. Some of you may remember our experience last year, where we won the award for catching the most pond grass (and ZERO fish). This year in less then an hour, Harrison caught 8 fish, Sawyer caught 2, and I caught 1! It was a "first catch" for all three of us! Jonathan graciously spent his time baiting our hooks.
We have more fun planned for Monday, fingers crossed that the rain will stay away!

What a nice trip.... you and Jonathan are awesome to give the boys such a great experience... things they will remember forever. You take great care of my boys... keep up the good work. Oh, & the whining and fighting.... you'll survive, I did (ha ha ha, you & John were a JOY!!!)

Mary and I admired every single photo-- but get yourself behind the camera girl. That's one thing I learned this week-- there are not enough photos of moms.
