Vacation, Carnies, and All That Jazz...

Well, it has now been a week since we returned from our annual Erie vacation.  Once again, we had a lovely time at the beach...

J & L played in the sand...

I studied for my upcoming Board Exams

We rode our bikes.

We just finished our 13 + mile circumnavigation of
Presque Isle

We spent a rainy day at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center.

We discovered Asbury Woods, a wooded park over 200 acres in size with lots of developed trails.  We hiked for several hours, and played in the river, and found the "Grandmother Tree."

We got home full into County Fair season in town, so the girls and I took in the sights from the Ferris Wheel this week.

When we got home, I discovered that the garden was going crazy the entire time we were gone!  I have tomatoes and beans to can or freeze just about every other day!

Dill, turnips, tomatoes, tomatilloes

Wax beans, tomatoes, cucumbers

We have a week and a half until L goes to Chatham, and 2 weeks until J goes back to Bowling Green.  It's hard to believe!
