Kids' Trip to Hershey

 The kids were super lucky this year and got to go to Hershey, PA with Mom & Dad in July.

First were some pics from the bus ride from the RV park to the amusement park.

Cadence rode the free fall rides while Colin rode the roller coasters (with Poppa, of course).

They went and rode rides for 2 days and then checked out the water park!

They picked out the ingredients for their very own giant Reese's cup! They brought it home to share - it was soooo good!

Boys' Trip to Cali & Girls at Home

 Danny had a work trip scheduled out west in July, so he took Colin and Vince along for a boys' trip.

Danny sent me this from Sunset Cliffs Natural Park - crazy, eh?

They watched the Phillies play the Padres - Phillies won, 2-1!

Cadence and I built a new cabinet for the 1/2 bathroom.

Nolan took Cadence fishing.

And Veronica took them out for pizza afterward.

While Danny worked one day, Vince took Colin on a Warner Bros. tour!

Colin sent me pics of all the stars he took at the Hollywood Walk of Fame :)

(Not pictured are the days Vince took Colin to Malibu and Santa Monica)

Mom & Dad took Cadence out for dinner & ice cream to celebrate her birthday. (I never thought I'd see the day she enjoyed eating ice cream)

The plant on our deck got huge!!

The boys found a ramen place they really liked.

And wrapped up a trip to a Dodgers game. Dodgers fell to the Brewers 0-2.

Independence Day '26

This year, we watched the Sunbury 4th of July parade with mom & dad & the Rileys.

Colin and Darren walked the parade with the 12u baseball team.

We invited the Rileys over for a pool day. While we waited, we made a patriotic dessert & charcuterie!

Cadence did a great job bringing the Pinterest post to life!
