A Weekend Away- Kind of

Ok, so the title is a bit misleading.  Chad went to a coaching clinic up in PA this past weekend with some of his coaches.

So the boys and I went to my parents for the weekend.  We had a great time. I am so thankful that we are so close to my parents (and Chads) now.

The highlight of the trip was going to Issaqueena Falls.  It was really the perfect "hike" for the boys and they got to explore a cave.  I am sure mom can give anyone details about the cave since she read each sign thoroughly.

 At the end.

 Picture with the boys...  one of these days, I am going to get an amazing picture where everyone is looking at the camera and smiling... one of these days

 Ashton said he was scared

 The floor was very lumpy, so Shepherd was anxious to hold a hand or be held

 Once out of the cave, the boys played around on an old train bed thing.

 Ashton is too active- couldn't get a good one of him

 So close to being an awesome picture.

Good looking boys!

 Good looking boys again... plus one!  Ol' Mantis decided to hop in the picture.  Shep is trying to get out of the group hug

 The last part of the trip was to the Falls.

 

Our attempt at a group shot= Fail (haha, oh well, we tried)

  

 A bit blurry but sweet picture

 This just makes me smile.  I am so thankful for my amazing parents!  Love them!

 So sleepy... Dad and Shep fighting exhaustion on our way to get lunch after our "busy" morning.

 

Thanks again mom and dad for a great weekend and for helping me out while Chad is gone.
