Well, we are finally home from our vacation to PA. Our friends Julie & Byron so graciously opened their home to us for 4 days, they sure didn't know what they were getting themselves into :) We had a wonderful time with them, and their children are so sweet. --We enjoyed going to Pymatuning State Park, Mooney's Bakery, Niagara Falls & Lake Erie. At the park, there were sooo many fish, the ducks literally walked on their backs to "try" and get some of the food we were feeding them. Mr. Mooney and his bakery was definitely a highlight of our trip, we got to sample some of his wonderful, donuts fresh off the line (they put Krispy Kreme to shame)! Niagara Falls was absolutely beautiful! Jerry & I went their on our honeymoon, but only on the Canadian side. This time we experienced the US side, even though I DID bring the kid's birth certificates :) Of course Jerry almost divorced me after finding out that I had forgotten them (the birth certificates that we DIDN'T end up using) and we had to drive ALL the way back from Kirklin to get them, ugh! Last but not least, we enjoyed playing in Lake Erie on Saturday afternoon. The kids loved the water and the sand, we almost had to drag them to the van. We want to thank The Gurnee Family for their hospitality! We do plan on going back, so watch out guys :)

  5. I knew you lived in PA, but didn't know exactly where. We had a very nice time, the kids loved the fish and the small museum that was at the park.
