My company family picnic was at NW Trek, a wild game park. The kids loved taking photos of all of the animals with their cameras. Z was on business travel for a few weeks and while he was gone our friend Judy came to visit. We had a great weekend visiting a wallaby farm and picking apples at Farmer Nate’s – a farmer we because friends with after my company picnic last year. The kids love the farm which has hay rides, duck races, a petting zoo and apple orchards. It’s a great place and reminds me so much of my own grandparents’ farm.

My company rents a boat for the Seafair festival and this year the Blue Angels returned. Ciara came over to hang out with the kids while we enjoyed a beautiful day on the lake!
At the end of August I made my first solo trip with Gabe & Zara. I had to travel to VA for work so the kids stayed in PA with family while I was working in VA . We were a little worried that the kids would get homesick since this was their first trip away from Mom and Dad but they didn’t seem to care. They wouldn’t even talk to me on the phone when I called them.

Amy organized a fun race for her company called the Foam 5k. It was an obstacle course / run with plenty of soap suds! There were walls to climb, bouncy houses to slide down, and mud pits to crawl through!

Check out Amy’s race pictures.
