At Cherry Mills Lodge

     This past Saturday we traveled up to PA where Dad was preaching a half-week of revival meetings. While there we stayed at a lovely Bed & Breakfast (where we also had stayed two years ago, when Dad was again preaching at the same church). We always enjoy being at Cherry Mills Lodge. Not only are the accommodations very satisfactory, but the breakfasts are also delicious and the Lodge itself, as well as it's setting, is beautiful!

     When we arrived Saturday evening, Daniel immediately wanted to go down and play by the creek than ran by the house, and after we unpacked we all went down for a bit.

  We took several walks down the dirt road over the next few days, enjoying being in the country for once!

Playing games... Beth and I played Egyptian Ratscrew a lot (using Rook cards) and Beth was trying to teach Mom to play. =) 

     It rained most of the day Monday, and we stayed inside just being lazy, reading books, and playing games, glad for the change from the past few crazy weeks. Daniel was rather annoyed at being cooped up however. =)  Tuesday was still cloudy, but we were able to go for a hike up through the woods, which Daniel had been pestering us to do. He even took his binoculars and thought about taking pen and paper, to write down "the things I see and stuff," but he decided to leave that at least behind.

     The house itself was so lovely and old fashioned that we had to get plenty of pictures of it too! (These are for you, Anna! =))
