Posting from P.A.

A few of us kids have been enjoying some time with our grandparents in Pennsylvania, observing the local wildlife (deer, raccoons, rabbits, and even a bear!), spotlighting, shooting guns, swimming, bowling, playing games, watching movies, eating too much pie, and all-around having a great time.

Coon Crossing??

Daniel has been very closely attached to the creek (or "crick," if you're from up here =)), spending much of his time fishing. He caught a good many fish and kept two to eat.

Gram and Pap took us to visit Penn's Cave as well! It was beautiful, and the pictures hardly do it justice. There was a definite temperature difference as we walked down the steep steps to the cave opening. We toured the cave entirely by boat!

It was a mostly dark, yet delightful, ride!

We were also able to spend some time with Gram and Pap Byler! 

The field above Gram and Pap Maurer's house was so beautiful that Beth and I couldn't resist climbing the grassy hill to take pictures:

Beth took some pictures of the boys as well when a couple cousins came up to visit:
