After the farm fun this summer we got to cram in a few more things before we headed back to FL. Because I was still suffering from back pain, the boys got some "Daddy time" and got to do some really fun things.
Jeff and the boys went to Williamsport,PA to see the Little League World Series Stadium and museum. We have passed it many times on our way to the mountain but somehow have never stopped. This was the year of the visit and the kids thought it was pretty cool but they thought the field "looked small"! They all picked up some tee-shirts and hats and had a great day. They also had a fun day at the mountain riding 4 wheelers and just tooling around up there. Owen finally got to put his "road sign" up that he made himself last year on his favorite trail which he named Triple Creek. Next all the "boys" headed up to Jeff's hometown of Bloomsburg, PA to meet his childhood friend Scott Johnson and his family. They met at Scott's parents house which Jeff grew up next to. They met Scott's kids and his sisters kids and played in the local creek all day. Jeff said it was really meaningful to get everyone together and to see all of the kids in the creek that he and Scott use to go to when they were growing up.
Our niece Chrissy had her sweet 16 birthday party while we were home. We helped decorate for hours and help put together the NYC skyline for the theme of the party. We all had fun and I even was able to lie on the floor and "help" decorate. The next night was the party which was fun and interesting all at the same time. Let's just say that it has been a while since We've been to a high school dance!! Jeff and I felt a little like chaperones, but had a good time.
We finally headed back to Orlando August 3rd on the auto-train. We decided to go home on the auto-train because I still wasn't able to sit or stand for extended periods of time due to the back/leg pain I was still battling. The auto train was a great little adventure and I was able to lie down the entire way home. The kids thought it was awesome to be eating and sleeping while we were traveling home. We all were happy to arrive home safely. As a bonus we lined up to watch our car be taken off of the train and out of 139 cars ours was the second one to be pulled off! Boy were we happy!!!
