Fun in the Sun

The place we are staying has all sorts of fun complimentary activities we can do during our stay so we've been taking advantage of those!  It's been relaxing and fun!

They would have gone swimming every day if we let them.  And thankfully it was blazing hot....just the kind of weather I appreciate swimming in.





We had lots of fun playing on the mini gold course inside the area we stayed.  We tried a couple of times with lots of fun and laughter.  


Instruction.

This boy would be happy for hours with just a pile of sand!!  Add water and it would probably last all day!

Dillon and David had fun playing tennis.  Since we have not done this a lot, it was lots of hit and running after the ball (done mostly by the small person in the picture!), but they got better as they went and it was a lot of fun.

Bandaid

Elijah showed me his bandaid and told me that since it is purple it's his "holy spot."  ;)

Friends

Elijahs 2 buddies!

Gettysburg

A solemn place.  Sobering thoughts.  An amazing educational experience!

We've read about the Civil War.  We've learned lots about it. But nothing brought it to life until this Gettysburg experience! 

Fort Hunter Mansion

For a few hours we went back to the 1800's and enjoyed a tour of this lovely mansion home. We learned lots about long ago,  the people,  and the way they lived.

O Canada

Loved Canada for a few reasons and we enjoyed our time there despite its shortness!
