Visitors!!

Since moving out here to Pennsylvania we've been hoping to have visitors from Utah. Since we now live 2 hours from EVERYWHERE we thought for sure people would want to come out here to visit the sights. It was quite the contest to see who would be our first visitors to use the guest bedroom. Katy, Kyle and Ben assumed they would have the honor of being our first guests, however, we had Kelly & Emily Nielsen come visit just a few days before Katy and Kyle. Kelly & Emily were celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary and we were thrilled to see them since we feel like we played a small part in getting them together. Our house is starting to feel like a home now that we can have people over.

Jay and I drove out to the Baltimore area to pick up Katy, Kyle, and Ben from the airport. We spent a few days out exploring Washington D.C. and Mt. Vernon and then a few days here at home taking day trips to Amish country, Hershey Chocolate World, Valley Forge, Philadelphia, and Gettysburg.

Grandpa & Benjamin

The craziest thing-tourists asking if they could have their picture taken with Ben. We thought it was the costume, but even when he wasn't wearing it people would come by and ask to have their picture taken with him.

Fly me to the Moon

Proof that Ben was here

And now from the other direction

One of my favorite places

The new Martin Luther King, Jr. monument

Katy is worth a little over a million and a half in stacked up $100 dollar bills  

Ben for President!

Trying the Metro for the first time

You don't see this everyday-making repairs to the Washington Monument-I would pee my pants!!

This guy has a HUGE lap! -Gettysburg

Why did the turtle cross the road? I got out of the car and made sure he made it safely across-
I don't think he appreciated the help-He didn't even say thank you

Jay is very excited about creating his own chocolate bar

Ben isn't so sure why we are all wearing funny hats

You're never too old to go down the curly slide
