Delaware

We spent 3 weeks in Delaware! It was originally only going to be 2 weeks, but Tommy had a business trip to New York scheduled the week after we were supposed to be back, so we just stayed there and he took the train up to NYC. It was so much fun!!

I always just love being with my parents and the boys had fun with them too. In between our time with Tommy's family and our trip to DC (other posts), we did lots of just normal errands and playing. But here are some other fun things we did:

Riding bikes - We took our bike trailer and my parent's borrowed some friends' bikes so we could all go on bike rides. We did it several times, but my favorite was riding along the canal. So fun and pretty!
Orchard - there is a peach orchard near their house with a really fun area for kids. The boys had a lot of fun there, especially feeding the goats.
Ice Cream - near  my parent's house is a homemade ice cream stand right by a pasture of cows. It's a fun place to sit and eat ice cream and watch the cows. We went 4 times. :)

Parks - I love the parks near my parent's house and we went several times.
One of the Saturdays my mom had seminary training so my dad took us to Philadelphia to Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was written and signed. We really enjoyed it (well the boys didn't care much)!
My Aunt Denene and cousins Brian and Jay came for a weekend. I loved getting to spend time with them. We went on a walk to a lighthouse, went to Hagley museum, and played games.
We ate out at the Canal House and enjoyed watching the boats along the canal and walking on the board walk.
Game Tournament - We played games every night and kept track of who won for a tournament. It was so much fun to play games so often! And it was fun because I won. :)

And my parents are so fun with my kids. Bradley has asked me sooo many times since we've gotten back, "What is Delaware Grandma doing right now? I really miss her!"

I'm so glad we got to spend a great 3 weeks in Delaware! What a fun month!
