Summer has arrived...

We've been having a very nice summer here in the east, it's rather humid on some days but thankfully we have the pool to cool off in!  Summer has always been my favorite season of the year, family bike rides in the evenings are a highlight!  I haven't been posting as often as I would like to, it seems there is always something going on around our house. I have lots of pictures from the past month so I thought I'd do a little catching up here on the blog...



 A few weeks ago we had the privilege of having some special friends from Holland over one day.
We walked down to Chris and Katie's farm in the evening so they could see an Amish farm...

 

 Bro. Gerald riding a scooter...

 

 Bro. Tim and Sis. Michelle had a turn too :)

 Becca came down to give buggy rides to our guests....
but first David wanted to hop in with his friends and take a little ride!

Becca also took Bro. Timothy and his wife, Sis. Rachel, and their daughter, Elisabeth, for a ride.

Elainah has so much fun with her friend Hannah Beth!

Hannah Beth's little brother Mahlon, is David's buddy so he came over one evening with his family

This little guy is our pride and joy!  He's crawling everywhere and pulling himself up now...soon he'll be running around getting into mischief with his big brother David!

 "Yep!  I walk around holding onto my train!!" :)

 Lillia loves taking pictures outside with her camera...

 

::squash in the garden::

She also loves taking pictures of the younger children...

We all thought it was rather comical when Sergeant decided to pose with Elainah! 
Lillia didn't even tell him to sit by Elainah but he decided he wanted his picture taken too!

We had the privilege of having Bro. Josiah, Sis. Faith and their boys over for brunch one morning last week.  Bro. Josiah is on summer vacation from his job at VGR so they came to PA for a visit.

 David acting as Mr. Waitor! :P too cute!

 Benjamin and Malachi

 Bro. Josiah and his family were staying with Uncle Ron and Aunt Carol so they came for the day as well!

Bro. Josiah & Sis. Faith try out the tandem bike!  Good luck!!

Hershey Park with the Sanger Cousins!

This past week Uncle Steve and Aunt Jennifer took eleven of the Sanger cousins to Hershey Park for a day of fun!  It was a perfect summer day and the lines weren't long at all!  By the end of the day there were many rosy cheeks from the sun and happy smiles on everyone's faces.

Of course it is always exciting to see if you've reached a new candy bar height! :)

Maybe next year, Bethany!

Hope, Lincoln, Lillia, Abigail, & I went straight to Skyrush, the newest roller coaster.

Aunt Jennifer and Bethany on the Coca Cruiser, the newest children's roller coaster.

 There was a handler at the entrance of Zoo America with a 3 year old Alligator that you could pet.

 We take up a whole roller coaster!!

At the end of the day with the Hershey Bar!

Thank you to Uncle Steve & Aunt Jennifer for taking us!!

Here's a little video I put together from Storm Runner..hope you enjoy! (by the way, Uncle Steve lost his phone on this roller coaster the year it came out, so I was kind of nervous about dropping Mom's phone!! :P thankfully I didn't!!)
