Wide Open Spaces

  Yesterday, the Rocc Flock headed north to Wyalusing to attend the Fiske/Carr Family Reunion.  It was a beautiful summer day (NO HUMIDITY!) and very nice to see people that we rarely get to see.  The twins especially loved all the WIDE OPEN SPACES!!

Allie before leaving -- "I'm ready to go!"

   Upon arriving at my dad's house, we set down for lunch.  He is pretty much world famous for his Bar-B-Q chicken.  Yum yum!

 We then got into the pool.  My mom would have loved it.  It was chock full of little kids laughing, jumping and splashing....and it was super warm!!  The twins haven't taken to the water too much this summer until yesterday.  I unfortunately don't have any pictures of us swimming (Mike and I were too busy keeping the twins above water!) but take my word for it.  They absolutely loved it.  Thank you, Mom, for putting in a beautiful pool for all of your family to enjoy.

  After swimming, it was time to eat some more!

Cameron gives Aunt Bonnie's chocolate cake two thumbs up!!

Allie says, "Whoa...what is that yellow thing????"

"Woman...stop taking pictures and get me one of those!!!"

"I'm not sure how to do this...."

Cam says, "Yuck -- is this something people really do??"

"I think I like it but it's cold on my teeth!"

Grandma Stanton would also have been proud of this.  Her grandchildren working on their letters!

And then time for some gator ridin'!!

Cameron at the wheel!

 We stopped to say hello to the "campers" (Donna and Ray).  While I was talking, Mike and Allie decided to take some selfies!

Cameron says, "Me too!"

"Enough talking...let's go!!"

 And off we went...

Lots of geese to be seen!

Heading back to Grandpa's...

  Lots of giggles were happening during these pictures.  My cheeks hurt from smiling so much!

Look at that move!

Little bit of time spent playing with Grandpa's tractors...

 And off we went to have dinner at Mark's Valley View before heading south again.  It would have been an absolutely wonderful day if we hadn't hit bumper to bumper traffic on the turnpike.  After fighting the traffic for 45 minutes we decided to get off and try an alternate route.  What should have been 2 hours and 45 minutes turned into 3 hours and 45 minutes.  The twins were not happy and neither were Mommy and Daddy!  However, it was worth it to see the twins loving life in the country!
