Pennsylvania trip

A few days after Rilynn's dedication, we packed up our car along with Nana & Papa's & made the trip back to PA. Matt had to go out of town on several trips, so we thought we would do some visiting & go to Aunt Richelle's baby shower (post to come). 

We had so much fun! Rilynn got to meet lots of friends & family & Greyson got to see all his old buddies =) we did a LOT of visiting...lunch dates, supper dates...playdates! It was a full 2 weeks!
Thank you to everyone who showered my kids with random presents (like parting with old toys...janice!), gifts & had us over for meals!! It was so fun catching up with each one.

We did lots of shopping...ate out at some of our favorite places...planned a baby shower (post to come) & did some fun family events together. This year since it was so close to Easter, we took the kids to Easter Bunny lane! Greyson LOVED it...especially meeting the Easter Bunny & the train table he got to play with at the end while mommy shopped. I got him another train for his Easter Basket. They had neat spring scenes & lots to look at. They still incorporate the true meaning of Easter & why we celebrate at the end...Jesus IS alive! 

Afterwards, we went across to the pet store, because we needed something to pull Greyson's attention off the trains...he thought he might like that so it did the trick =)

The day before we left, we had Easter with Nana! Matt had flown in the night before so it was a quick trip for him. First Greyson had to follow the trail of eggs to the baskets. He kept wanting to eat everything out of each egg...so that took a little while. Once he found the baskets, there was a lot more eating...haha & Rilynn got lots of cute stuff too including her first pair of bunny ears! We will put them in her basket every year from now on, just like we do with Greyson's so they can wear them while they eat Breakfast on Easter Sunday. Daddy opened his Easter Basket to find a bow tie, new cuff links (the last pair she got him got stolen) more candy & goodies.  I got chocolate truffles from Harry & David & a scarf I picked out. It was a lot of fun!

We also got to spend the first day of trout season with our family in Cooperstown that day. It was almost like a little family reunion & was so nice seeing lots of family we don't often see even when we are home for the holidays. 

We really enjoyed our trip & that Matt got to come home even for just a couple days! 

Nana & Papa got to spend quality time with the grandkids...it was a few days shy of an entire month that we got to spend together! That is RARE & I'm sure they needed some time to recuperate after so much running around haha We loved it though & always look forward to being together. I am glad that it has worked out for us to spend as much time together as we have! WE are always looking forward to our next visit & our next trip back to PA!!
