Pennsylvania Vacation

We met most of Will's immediate family at a cabin in northern Pennsylvania this year to spend a few days together.

The kids loved spending time with their cousins. This was the only time of the day when they were all quiet.

They also threw rocks in the pond full of salamanders. Only hit each other once or twice.

The owner of the cabin took us on a drive around the property, where we spotted a bear.

There were a few deer so tame that Gabriella fed them through the fence.

Kim & Chris organized a canoe trip, which turned into a canoe race between the kids.

This was the view from Will's canoe when he was actually sitting up, not lying down in the back.

We also went on a nice long hike together through the woods and to a lookout point. Gwen said she would skip this next time... but I think secretly she thought it was pretty awesome. And Kim proved that she could carry Chris--not that she had a choice right then.

The last night had an unfortunate ending, with Graham swallowing a fish bone (chew your food, child!) and us heading to a couple of ER's.

But we discovered some amazing moths when we came back.

Looking forward to doing this again with Ben & Tabatha sometime!
