4th of July

This is the second year that we went to Vincent's park to participate in the festivities that they have available to families. We really enjoyed ourselves this year. Lily loved the blow up toys, they had a bubble man that did really neat tricks with bubbles, they had open swim (which we did not do because it was to cold), food, pie eating contest and fireworks! Jaron got second place in the pie eating contest and won us a gift card! The pie eating contest was hilarious! The little kids were the best. There was this boy who just buried his whole face into his pudding pie. Sadly to say he didn't place. Jaron tried to keep up with the 18 year old right next to him, but the kid finished the pie before Jaron. The fireworks were awesome. Lily loved them this year. Connor watched from the car, then fell asleep shortly after. It was a great 4th of July!

Celebrating 4 yrs of marriage

On June 25, 2009 Jaron and I celebrated our four years of marriage. Every year we do something fun to remember. Year one, I was sick and pregnant, so just getting out and going out to dinner was exciting for us. Year two, we went to Half Moon Bay, spent the day on the beach, stayed at a hotel, shopped, ate out and spent day #2 in San Francisco doing all of the touristy stuff. What a blast! Year three, I was pregnant for the second time around. But we did go to Darien Lake and had a lot of fun. I waited in line with Lily while Jaron enjoyed all of the roller coasters. And I enjoyed Jaron experiencing Darien Lake for the first time. I liked him experiencing a childhood memory of mine. So for year four, we went camping! We really enjoyed this camping trip. It was Connors first time camping, he did really well. The only thing we would of changed was the rain! It rained most of the time, but it actually was really nice to just hang out in the tent. How many times in your life do you have the chance to play all day and night with your family in a tent?! We hiked the gorge and enjoyed yummy food! We all came home exhausted and wet, hopefully when we go camping next month, we will have dryer weather!

Flying

Lily loves to fly! She loves listening to the planes as they fly over our home. So when we were offered to take a plane ride with some friends that own a plane, we said, of course! We went up on June 14, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Jaron was able to fly the airplane, he said it was a little scary. We flew from Seneca Falls, NY to Hornell, NY. Jaron and I both got a little nauseated on the way over. It was so beautiful seeing the lakes and realizing how much farm land we live near. The one picture is of our town homes, and the other picture is of our Chapel that we go to/Peter Whitmer Farm. It was definitely something to remember. At the end of the day Jaron and I decided that we would rather own a boat someday! Less expensive.
