Aaron got approved for leave about two weeks ago, so week ago we set out to PA, it was business and pleasure trip joined in one. Mostly it was for fun and relaxing, but Aaron’s concealed weapons license is about to expire and he had to renew it, but the only place to do it was his place of address county, what is still Bradford county.So Friday morning we set out for the normally 10 hour trip, giving ourselves 12-13 hours. Jack was amazing the whole trip up, not a peep from him and Ethan is always so excited to go that we never hear a thing from him the whole way up- what good kids we have!
It was nice visiting with friends and family and enjoying some cooler weather for change! Ethan has lived most of his life in North Carolina, so the heat doesn’t bother him all that much, but for me and Aaron it is quite unbearable at times, especially me-Latvia is so far north, that our summers are extremely mild and will get to 85 degrees only once or twice a year. it was such a treat to wear a hoodie at night!
Unfortunately Aaron came down with some kind of stomach bug, so he was miserable for the beginning of the trip and even ended up at ER, but after some medicine he was back to normal and ready to go, too bad it happened after me and the kids and Stephanie already went to the fair…
So here are some random pictures:
jayden and ethan –the builders 
so green and pretty
ride at the fair, Ethan got so bounced in it, that he got knocked to the side of the seat and it hurt him, so they had to stop the ride…it was fun while it lasted thoughboys with some beasts at the Troy fair
those big boys wore our little ones out, they played so hard that Ethan slept until 11 the next day!
chickens everywhere!
On our way back home we went to Virginia to drop of Aaron’s grandma and even though this drive is only 8 hours, it took as little over 10, Jack was just done being dragged around and sick of the car by the end of the drive so he was not too happy. And from VA to NC he was even more miserable, bad enough that I ended up in the back seat to comfort him, but even that did little good. Poor Ethan was stuck next to a crying little munchkin, but didn’t complain at all, even after his PSP went dead and he was getting quite bored.
We are glad to be back home!
