Short Night and Bria and Cali Arrive!

Sam and Katelyn slept well until about 4 AM.  They decided it was time to get the day started!  So, Ken and I were awake from 4 AM on.  The girls would be quiet for a little and then they would start talking again.  I would remind them it was to early and they needed to go back to sleep.  They would stop talking again and then the giggles would begin.  We were all up by 6:15!

We allowed them to watch a short princess movie while we got ready for the day.  Ken got fruit ready for breakfast and I worked on the pancakes and getting the girls dressed.  Jamie arrived with Bria and Cali at 8:45 - Bria and Cali wanted to be here for breakfast.  So, we ate the Mickey Mouse pancakes outside.  Jamie left right after breakfast.   Dane, Jamie, and Dane's parents are leaving for Syracuse NY around 2 for Dane to compete in a 1/2 Ironman on Sunday.

Waiting for Breakfast!

After we cleaned up from breakfast we took the girls to the stream to walk in the water and play. They had a good time, but of course Katelyn had trouble jumping over the water and eventually ended up on her knees in the water.  We went back to Waldo to change to go swimming at the neighboring Thousand Trail CG, PA Dutch.  They have a more "kid friendly" pool.  We were there from 11:15 to 3:00, eating our packed lunch at a picnic table around the pool.  The playground is nearby too, so we could go "back and forth"! After lunch we all got ice cream cones at the CG store.  Then PaPa played miniature golf with the 3 older ones.  I entertained Katelyn at the pool.  By the time we left everyone was getting tired.

Having fun playing in the stones before going to the stream!

Time for Follow the Leader!

Katelyn has trouble jumping the water.  She always get wet!

A picture on the miniature covered bridge!

Eating our packed lunch at the swimming pool!

Follow the leader continued at the pool!

At 3 years old, Katelyn terrifies me when she climbs the
big kids ladder, but she doesn't want any help!!!!  She's a
big girl!!!!!

A very nice playground at PA Dutch!

Everyone enjoyed their ice cream!

The girls played outside Waldo for a little while and then I changed them and they stayed inside to watch another princess movie.  Everyone needed some "down time".  Katelyn needed it more than the rest - note the "comfortable" sleeping position.  Ken started a campfire while I got things ready for dinner.  Lanie arrived at 5:15 to join us for dinner - hot dogs, mac and cheese, potatoes for the adults, baked beans, and of course, s'mores.  Some "meltdowns" started happening and Lanie , Sam, and Katelyn left by 6:45. Bria helped me wash dishes and then Ken finished while I played some card games with Bria and Cali.  After showers Ken watched a movie with them while I worked on my computer.

Do they look tired from all that swimming?????

Poor Katelyn was so exhausted she fell asleep standing up!

S'mores are a big hit around the campfire!

All of us need a good nights sleep.  Last night was way tooooo short!
