Labor Day Weekend

We had a nice holiday weekend, starting out on Sunday with a trip to Hershey Park with Brigitte Kevin Ellie and Mitchell. It was a perfect day for the park and Mitch and Ellie were awesome on the rides. Mitch rode his first coaster with a loop - the super dooper looper. Uncle Dave, despite his best efforts, had some issues keeping up with the kids on their rides but did enjoy the bumper cars.





Sunday we went out to safe harbor with joe and Viola for some climbing. It again was a perfect day to be out, highs in the 70s. In the evening we went to dog bridge farms for a barbeque hosted by the Kelsey's and Lubmores. Food was great and we had a nice bonfire to finish the evening. Got to use the truck to rescue joe and Viola who had a flat on the tandem riding to the bonfire.


Monday we did some grocery shopping and made a crockpot feast. Also took a walk on the springlawn trail with Shiloh Wendy and john along the big elk creek. After the walk the lady's were beat and took a nap while I worked on the truck.  Rachel came by for dinner and brought Lucy and Haley. Shi is tired this evening needless to say. It was a great 3 day weekend.

The Truck



So for years now I've wanted a pickup truck. At long last the dream has been realized. A real Craigslist special. She's a 1991 Ford F150 4x4 Lariot edition with all the bells and whistles for its time. She runs great for a 20 year old truck and we're looking forward to some great times with her.

The Garden






































 
We've been getting a fair number of tomatoes this year from the garden, this year we did celebrity and Roma. Not bad considering they were completely neglected for 5 weeks. Plenty for everyone, including the largest tomato horn worm I've ever seen.  We had good luck with our potatoes as well. Most of our squash and cucumber died off early but we're making the most of what we got. I'm excited abouts next year as we will be able to try our asparagus - been waiting 2 years while the roots mature.
