President's Day Weekend





duke farms

Camden Aquarium


The shark Tunnel

There were sharks swimming all around us. 
I think that we did a good job of making this four day weekend a lot of fun for the boys. The weekend fun started on Thursday after school. Adam got to go to Sam Nell's house with his friend James. While Zachary had Miriam over here to have a dance party and eat yummy cookies.

Friday Sheryl Cranga and I packed up all of our kids and took them to the Crayola Factory in Easton PA. It was really cute they got to see how crayons and markers are made and get some samples of each. Then there were a bunch of activities that they could do. It was so nice to have friends to go with on our fun adventure.

Saturday Josh and I took the fam to Duke Farms. It is a huge! private estate of Doris Duke (old tobacco money)and we went for a little hike and saw some really beautiful statues etc. We really want to go back there in the Spring.

Sunday was really nice. We had Kerri & Drew Hart over after church for a visit. Adam and Zachary really enjoyed beating on Drew. I think that Josh enjoyed that someone else got a turn as the punching bag and I just enjoyed the company.

Monday we went to the Camden Aquarium along with everyone else in the area. I couldn't believe the amount of people that were there. The line to get tickets was literally around the block. By some miracle a guy walked up to us and handed us three tickets and we were able to get in for free!!!!! I was really happy about that because we were about to drop over $100 to get in. We were able to see the sharks in the tunnel and that was the most important thing for us to see that day. There is a ton more to see and do there but when you get in for free it isn't hard to leave while you are still ahead.

Monday we took our crew to the giant aquarium in Camden on the delaware water front over looking the Phillidelphia skyline. Well everyone else decided to go there today too. i was told that today they had the most visitors there on record. It was a zoo of people. We were about to abort our mission but randomly we got handed tickets by someone leaving. We only went through one zone but that is all we needed. We saw the sharks and oh were the boys excited. there is a tunnel that goes through the
