Summer wrap up...

It's been awhile, but we've been busy so please forgive me.  Here's what we've been up to...

 

Bryant turned 32.  We celebrated with a yummy Oreo cake and some fast racing.... followed with some crab legs.

 

 

Then we headed to Gettysburg, PA for the Strine family reunion in Dover.  The kids had fun playing a bobbing head game... against each other.  Eli on the other hand preferred splashing in the rain puddles.

 

 

 

We stayed with Grandma and Grandpa in their camper at Gettysburg.  And we enjoyed touring Gettysburg battlegrounds by bike.  We explored quite a bit of grounds and climbed and played on anything we were allowed to.

Then the two older kids headed to New York for a week with Grandma and Grandpa.  Eli and I drove up later for some canning, some playing, some visiting... and for the other two kids.

 



 

With summer almost thru... it was time to start thinking about going back to school  We started that with a Back to School Luau where we ate and played... Gracie also won a backpack!

 

And finally, our last hoorah of summer.  Yesterday, was Labor Day and we headed to the National Harbor.  We ate chili dogs, played at The Awakening (the giant man coming out of the sand), walked the pier, and played at The Launch Zone (a preview of the new National Children's Museum coming this winter).  It was a great ending to a great summer.
